Rasmus Dahlin’s Fiancée Shares Pregnancy Loss, Says Baby Spurred Life-Saving Care

She credited the pregnancy with prompting the hospital visit that led to detection of her heart failure.

Overview

  • Carolina Matovac disclosed on Instagram that she and Buffalo Sabres captain Rasmus Dahlin lost their unborn child, posting on the date that would have been the baby’s due date.
  • She wrote that concern for the pregnancy led them to seek medical help, placing her in the right place when she experienced her first heart failure.
  • Dahlin previously detailed that she suffered major heart failure in France last summer, received CPR multiple times, remained on life support for weeks, and then underwent a heart transplant.
  • The couple have publicly thanked medical teams in France and Sweden as well as an anonymous organ donor, using their platform to spotlight CPR training and organ donation.
  • Dahlin missed time earlier this season to be with Matovac during her recovery but has since returned to the Sabres’ lineup.
