University of Minnesota-Duluth Football Player Reed Ryan Dies Unexpectedly at 22
Breitbart ^ | 29 Nov 2023 | DYLAN GWINN

Reed Ryan, a college football player for the University of Minnesota-Duluth, died on Tuesday after collapsing during a workout earlier this month.

He was 22 years old.

According to his family, the incident occurred on November 21 after Ryan went into cardiac arrest in the weight room.

Medical staff managed to get Reed’s pulse back, and he was taken to the ICU, where he remained until he died one week later. The family further stated that the cardiac arrest was due to “an undetected genetic heart condition and a large, loving heart.”

“Reed had a contagious smile and lived life to the fullest in his short years,” Reed’s family wrote. “Reed loved people, he could talk to anyone and prided himself on being surrounded by friends, family, mentors, and being part of a team.”

Before transferring to the University of Minnesota-Duluth, Ryan played at North Dakota State University for four years.

What was the death rate of these “premature” deaths before 2020 vs since 2020? We should compare those statistics. Otherwise it becomes media-driven sensationalism.

Aren’t all athletes now screened for any genetic heart problems they might have before they are permitted to play even at the high school level?

When I was in my teens and 20's, I never remember of a collegue "dying suddenly".

Someone "dying suddenly" was 99%, a car accident.

Agreed. There is some putz on here who constantly insists that the vaxx has nothing to do with mRNA or CRISPR when all the documentation published says exactly that.

Undetected or recently detectable?

So if they test the athletes for heart defects how did this guy slip through? Personally I suspect it was the vax.

Condolences to family and friends of Reed Ryan.

He might have been shot by a gun that does not make any noise.

“Aren’t all athletes now screened for any genetic heart problems they might have before they are permitted to play even at the high school level?”

No. Some heart conditions are already on the books but many are not seen easily and are not part of the medical evaluation of youth athletes.

Sudden cardiac arrest is the leading cause of death in young athletes. Estimates vary, but some reports suggest that about 1 in 50,000 to 1 in 80,000 young athletes die of sudden cardiac death each year. For comparison, the incidence of sudden cardiac arrest in the general population is about 1 in 1,000 people yearly.

Sudden cardiac death is often caused by faulty electrical signaling in the heart. A very fast heartbeat causes the lower heart chambers (ventricles) to quiver uselessly instead of pumping blood. This irregular heart rhythm is called ventricular fibrillation. Any condition that strains the heart or damages heart tissue can increase the risk of sudden death.

https://www.mayoclinichealthsystem.org/hometown-health/speaking-of-health/young-athletes-and-heart-health#:~:text=Sudden%20cardiac%20arrest%20is%20the,1%20in%201%2C000%20people%20yearly.

Many athletes that had a heart event had no prior evidence of the problem. I would have to consider myself an athlete with my being in the military for a career and I had no idea I had heart disease. And my father showed no symptoms of one until he was in his 50’s and had his first heart attack.

A sports physical, unless there are signs is a listen to and a concern for noticed things like sounds that indicate more erious possibilities. Other than that, it beats so go play.
