Ucardia Founder Nick Weber Suffered a Life Threatening Cardiac Event at a Fake Race, Then He Built A Cardiac Rehab

Nick Weber fell in love with Texas crit racing as a young man and his extraordinary commitment to training made him a contender in the competitive and dangerous arena. This dedication pushed Nick’s heart over the limit while making a dig during a practice race––at 22 years old. Nick suffered Spontaneous Coronary Artery Dissection (SCAD), which is a tear in the heart’s arterial wall. This life-altering event compelled Nick to reevaluate many aspects of his life, and the antiquated cardiac rehab options in from of him inspired him to develop a personalized rehab program influenced by budding cycling technologies like Zwift and Trainer Road.

After dedicating years to education in public health and VC/PE, Nick founded his own virtual cardiac rehab company, Ucardia, with the financial backing of the Texas cycling community. Today, Ucardia is closing the gap between cardiac patients in need and available rehab solutions. Tune in for Nick’s incredible story and how cycling has taken on new meaning for him throughout this experience.
