Bentonville Player Home After Collapsing During Practice

By Tom Glave, NWA Online

Bentonville junior baseball player Wes Busby collapsed during practice Jan. 21, and the quick response by his coaches and teammates helped save his life.

Busby returned home Thursday after spending nearly a week at the Arkansas Children's Hospital in Little Rock and is doing well, his father Murray Busby said Friday.

After running several tests, doctors at ACH believe Wes Busby has Long QT Syndrome, a heart condition associated with ventricular arrhythmias. He had surgery last week to place an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator, which will help the heart return to normal function if another arrhythmia should occur.
