Re: Goalkeeper Dies While Celebrating Saving a Penalty
I'm not convinced an ambulance would have saved him. They have got approximately 3 to 4 minutes to restore normal blood flow to his brain before permanent damage starts to occur. More often than not, the outcome is tragic in these situations, with or without an ambulance. |

Re: Goalkeeper Dies While Celebrating Saving a Penalty
Copy & pasted but I'm tired Commotio cordis (Latin, "agitation of the heart") is an often lethal disruption of heart rhythm that occurs as a result of a blow to the area directly over the heart (the precordial region), at a critical time during the cycle of a heart beat causing cardiac arrest. It is a form of ventricular fibrillation (V-Fib), not mechanical damage to the heart muscle or surrounding organs, and not the result of heart disease. The fatality rate is about 65% even with prompt CPR and defibrillation, and more than 80% without.[1][2] · |
