A cardiologist has shared his insight on Buffalo Bills star Damar Hamlin's mid-game collapse as the 24-year-old remains in a critical condition in intensive care.
following a seemingly routine tackle during a Monday Night Football match against the Cincinnati Bengals.
The Buffalo Bills have been rocked by Damar Hamlin's sudden collapse on Monday night. Picture: Kirk Irwin/Getty Images “There is a condition called commotio cordis which is a blow to the sternum timed at precisely the wrong moment of the heart’s cycle so it’s only a 20-millisecond window but it’s a well-documented cause of sudden cardiac death in otherwise healthy people that have normal hearts.
The game was paused and Hamlin was rushed to University of Cincinnati Medical Centre to undergo further treatment and he has remained there since. “I’m not a crier, but I’ve never cried so hard in my life. Just to know like my nephew basically died on the field and they brought him back to life,” he said.
