What Happened—and What It Revealed
When sudden cardiac arrest occurred, there was no blockage. No warning. No clear cause.
That moment became more than survival. It became a question:
What happens before the heart fails?
The Neurocardiac Cascade
The Coach Terry Neurocardiac Model™ (Neurocardiac Cascade) is a structured framework that explains how cognitive stress translates into physiological response and cardiac impact.
Thought → Brain → Autonomic Nervous System → Hormonal Response → Cardiac Function
This model does not introduce new science. It organizes existing knowledge into a real-world sequence—particularly in cases where no clear external trigger is identified.
From Experience to Evidence
This work is evolving into a structured research initiative focused on identifying early-stage patterns that may precede cardiac events.
Emerging patterns include:
• Elevated stress levels
• Persistent fatigue
• Reduced recovery capacity
• HRV and autonomic imbalance
• Absence of identifiable external triggers
Individually, these signals may not raise concern.
Together, they may represent cumulative neurocardiac strain.
A Second Chance That Became a Mission
After surviving sudden cardiac arrest and a prolonged coma, Lawrence Terry faced a new reality—and a new purpose.
Recovery became more than physical. It became a pursuit of understanding.
