Damar Hamlin is a Pennsylvania native who played at Pitt.
The cardiologist said commotio cordis can occur when “you take a hard impact to the chest and the sternum gets hit just at the right time.”
She said commotio cordis came to mind because Hamlin appeared to have received a blow to the center of his chest, and also because he rose briefly before collapsing. The cardiologist said it would be ideal if someone woke up immediately after normal heart rhythm was restored with an AED. However, he doesn’t consider it unusual or necessarily “ominous” that Hamlin is sedated and on a ventilator.
They said there are other conditions that could have interfered with Hamlin’s heart rhythm and caused cardiac arrest. However, the most likely of those are conditions that would normally show up in the exams and screenings given to NFL players.
