Commotio Cordis:

Based on one of our old posts from a year ago, but recently received lots of attention due to the events during a Monday Night Football game on January 2, 2023, when Damar Hamlin suffered a cardiac arrest after making a tackle.

Commotio cordis is a rare but potentially lethal condition that occurs when a blunt, non penetrating blow to the chest without damage to the ribs or sternum causes a disruption in the heart's electrical activity, leading to sudden cardiac arrest. This condition is most often seen in young athletes who are struck in the chest while participating in sports such as baseball, hockey, and lacrosse.

The impact disrupts the heart's normal electrical rhythm, causing it to go into VF.

Immediate High-quality CPR and defibrillation are needed for the best possible outcome.

The Buffalo Bills have recently announced that Damar has been cleared to resume playing football.
