To me this seems like it is Commotio cordis, in which case IMMEDIATE defibrillation would be the required. Prayers to Damar Hamlin and his family and his teammates. This is tragic.

This could be a positive sign. It’s not surprising that he could be intubated and requiring some help with breathing, but the major point is if he sustained any neurological damage. Hopefully not.

Intubation in many of these cases is solely for airway protection, again, the major prognosticator here is “time to ROSC”- or how long his heart wasn’t beating normally for- because this has correlation with neurological recovery!

In reality, we don’t know what happened, and his doctors probably don’t yet know either. The name of the game at this point is stabilization, and then hopefully when he is through this critical period- he will undergo many many tests for #SCD sudden cardiac death.

🙏

Amazing!! This proves the importance of HIGH QUALITY CPR!! It saves lives!

Putting love into the world comes back 3xs as much… thankful for everyone who has reached out and prayed. This will make me stronger on the road to recovery, keep praying for me! 🫶🏾3️⃣

It’s finally here An idea i always had to start a channel and social media presence for cardiology education to residents, fellows, or the anyone interested! Welcome to cardiology Keys!! Please subscribe like and share youtu.be/VXP0bjAYzrY

Amazing commentary by ⁦Johanna Contreras, MD, MSc, FACC, FAHA, FHFSA⁩ about the tragic death of this young woman. Always there advocating for minority communities and those in need! Very proud! This really emphasizes the importance of early detection of congenital heart diseases! telemundolasvegas.com/videos/por-que…

This could be a HUGE win for physicians and patients- will give even a bigger push to private practice, and to those physicians who want to serve their own communities. This will receive a lot of pushback from the big hospital systems. statnews.com/2023/01/11/ftc…

“I came in because my wife made me” usually means something disastrous. Great case Dr Fisher! Perry Fisher

This should be a HUGE story. The insurance companies are robbing patients blind, refusing to pay for the care they’re entitled to, and putting more obstacles for their doctors to provide them evidence based care.

Heart attack leading cause of death in world Treatments that can reduce risk but very poorly used With coronary CT angiogram, can directly look at heart arteries to see who has & who doesn't have disease Is CCTA ready for primetime to be applied more broadly for screening?
