Commotio Cordis is often lethal and causes disruption of heart rhythm

Cardiac specialists say it’s too soon to know what caused Hamlin's heart to stop, but a rare type of trauma called commotio cordis is among the possible culprits. Commotio cordis occurs when a severe blow to the chest causes the heartbeat to quiver, leading to sudden cardiac arrest.

The fact that he isn't dead rn is a really good sign from the outside perspective

[@charlessmith263]

In Rocky 3, character Mickey Goldmill gets hit with the same "commotio cordis" and dies. It was caused by two factors--likely Clubber Lang's punch that hit Goldmill in the chest, forcing him back, and as Goldmill gets very heavily slammed into the wall behind his back, that second impact was almost similar to a strong impacting chest blow, leading to the commotio cordis. That commotio cordis was not as fast as Damar's, but gradual, but you see Goldmill's signs of defibrillation...
1. Worsening dyspnea.
2. Worsening low blood pressure to dangerous levels.....(at that point he ended up in cardiac arrest)
3. Then CPR was initiated as his state of health continued to deteriorate and he ended up bedridden as respiratory failure kicked in.
4. Goldmill was required to go to the hospital but he did not go at all, and then he died. This is how commotio cordis--in its rapid onset or gradual onset...kills people.

any one saying that it is a Commitio Cordis is doing a disservice to Tee Higgins, clearly the vaccine is at fault

[@yonisbadar2129]

@@TheKrazyk2010 tee Higgins is not at fault as much as it is for Damar Hamelin. Timing and force basically play the whole factor. Blaming it on the vaccine is naive and childish because you can blame everything on something you can't see
