Buffalo Bills safety Damar Hamlin was in the wrong place at precisely the wrong time Monday night when a blow to his chest short-circuited his heart and plunged him into cardiac arrest.
He was in a better place afterward, with trained professionals and rescue equipment at the ready, and a Level 1 trauma center within a five-mile drive.

A heart attack – the blockage of a coronary artery – and almost any known heart condition can cause the heart to stop.Such an injury, called Commotio cordis, is very rare, said Curtis, a SUNY Distinguished Professor in the Department of Medicine at the University at Buffalo Jacobs School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences.
CPR can help reverse cardiac arrest if performed within 4 minutes, Curtis said. A defibrillator can restore a normal heart rhythm within a few minutes. National News At downtown Cincinnati hospital, fans of Bills, Bengals gather to support Damar Hamlin Hamlin would still be sedated today if trauma specialists put him into a state of hypothermia, Curtis said. They will have a much better idea of his condition as they slowly warm his body temperature.
