Suppose you've been following the Cincinnati Bengals. In that case, you probably know that Damar Hamlin has been in the news lately, as he had to be resuscitated twice after collapsing into cardiac arrest. This isn't the first time this has happened, but it is the first time a player has been resuscitated twice in a single game. Hopefully, this doesn't happen to any other players.

"Commotio Cordis"

The Buffalo Bills suffered a significant blow when one of their star players, Damar Hamlin, collapsed and had to be resuscitated twice on the field during the team's game against the Cincinnati Bengals on January 2. While doctors are still attempting to determine the exact cause of the incident, there are a few things that are known about the incident.

Initially, Hamlin appeared to be hit in the chest. However, a medical team quickly assessed the situation and administered CPR for several minutes before using an automated external defibrillator (AED) on Hamlin. This was a crucial step as a timely defibrillation could help prevent anoxic brain injuries caused by a lack of oxygen to the brain.

After undergoing CPR on the field, Hamlin was transported to the University of Cincinnati Medical Center by ambulance. His family also came down from the stands to give him support. In fact, the on-site medical team reportedly removed safety pads from the field to evaluate the player's condition immediately.

Several physicians have said that Hamlin's collapse was due to commotio cordis, a cardiac event that occurs when a player is hit in the chest. Doctors say that a person suffering from commotio cordis will experience a very narrow window during which their heart's electrical signaling will be interrupted. This is called the "window of opportunity" and occurs within a few milliseconds. Usually, the person can stand and talk for a few seconds before they lose consciousness.

Cardiologists are hesitant to speculate on what may have led to Hamlin's collapse, but they are sure that his heart was thrown out of rhythm. It is also very likely that the player had an underlying medical condition that made him more susceptible to cardiac arrest.

Cardiac arrest is a type of arrhythmia that can result in death. There are several causes of this type of cardiovascular event, but the most common among athletes is commotio cordis. Unlike a heart attack, it is a very sudden occurrence. Generally, it occurs within seconds of the last heartbeat.

Because the window of opportunity for commotio cordis is so tiny, immediate treatment is necessary. If not, the victim may die. That is why it is essential to recognize the signs of a cardiac arrest and administer CPR to ensure a speedy recovery.

In addition to the window of opportunity, an irregular heart rhythm is another sign of a cardiac event. Typically, this happens within ten to fifteen seconds of the last heartbeat. However, this time can vary from person to person. An irregular heartbeat can be caused by various things, such as hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, which causes thickened heart muscles.

"COVID vaccines"

One theory is that a COVID-19 vaccine caused the incident. While the vaccine has not been linked to any deaths, it has been alleged to increase the risk of myocarditis. Myocarditis is a heart muscle inflammation that can lead to cardiac arrest. It is a relatively rare occurrence, however.

Another possible reason for his cardiac arrest is his heart weakened due to a genetic disorder. He had surgery to correct the condition, and doctors say he will be undergoing more tests to determine the exact cause of his cardiac arrest. But in the meantime, the medical community is trying to get him off the ventilator and back on his feet.

Commotio cordis is a severe cardiac condition, and while it has improved over the years, it is still a deadly ailment. In fact, it's more likely to cause death on a highway than it is to occur while playing sports. Therefore, people with the disease should seek emergency treatment immediately.

According to a study published in the American Heart Association's journal, myocarditis after a COVID-19 booster is relatively rare, and cases tend to be mild. A person with myocarditis often has symptoms in the weeks following vaccination. Usually, the person will have symptoms in the first week. However, myocarditis can become a serious illness, and in rare cases, it can cause cardiac arrest.

Other potential causes of cardiac arrest include structural abnormalities in the heart and blunt force trauma to the heart. In the case of Damar Hamlin, the ball hit his chest in the first quarter of the game. During the heartbeat sequence, the ball had to strike the chest within a few seconds to have any chance of triggering cardiac arrest.

Regardless of the cause of his cardiac arrest, it was extremely heartbreaking for Hamlin and his family. However, after the incident, a massive outpouring of support emerged. Players from both teams cried and prayed for Hamlin. Meanwhile, his GoFundMe campaign reached $5 million.

"Cincinnati Bengals, what happened?"

 During Monday night's game between the Cincinnati Bengals and the Buffalo Bills, Damar Hamlin collapsed on the field. After being tackled by Tee Higgins, Hamlin could not breathe alone. His heart stopped, and he required CPR for about 10 minutes. Medics rushed onto the field to administer the treatment.

The incident left both teams stunned. Many players were in tears on the field, while coaches appeared to be significantly affected. Players on both sides called for medics as soon as they heard of the situation.

When they arrived on the field, doctors administered CPR to Damar Hamlin. He was then taken to an ambulance. As he was transported from the field, the team's equipment staff began to pack up the sideline. Several players on both sides were seen crying and embracing the injured player.

A billboard was erected outside the stadium that read: "Damar Hamlin: a son, a fighter, a true gentleman." On Tuesday, the family of the young player released an official statement. In it, the family asked for prayers. It noted that further updates would be provided as they become available.

Doctors are unsure what caused Hamlin's cardiac arrest but are working to get his vitals back to normal. Cardiologists are hesitant to speculate. However, they say the 24-year-old has suffered a heart attack and is receiving oxygen from a ventilator.

Both the Bengals and the Bills have been in contact with the NFL. However, the league has yet to confirm whether or not the game will continue. Since it has been postponed, the schedule has been in flux.

Damar Hamlin remains in critical condition at the University of Cincinnati Medical Center. According to ESPN reporter Coley Harvey, Hamlin's uncle, Dorian Glenn, said the player was resuscitated twice. He is now in an intensive care unit at the hospital.

The Bills and the Bengals have spoken to the NFL and the NFLPA regarding the player's situation. Goodell told both clubs that support services were available. In addition, there have been vigils held in the city of Cincinnati and in Pittsburgh. And the outpouring of support for Hamlin has been phenomenal.

Fans and teammates have been praying for the young man. The Bills Mafia has tweeted their support, and many have shown up to show their support at the hospital.

During his rookie season, Hamlin led the Panthers in tackles. He was also named to the All-ACC second team and an AFC East champion.
