Wow. That’s terrible.
Yes very sad, but amazing, and so great they could save him.
For those interested, the known ( preCOVID ) rate of sudden cardiac arrest in athletes < 25 years old has been known to be ~ 13-15 per 100,000 athletes / year. There are currently k500+ NCAA athletes. and about 8 million high school athletes.
The baseline number of student athletes dying from sudden cardiac arrest is ~ 2000 / year, and a significantly higher number of adolescents that suffer an arrest are saved.
It will be interesting to see how much that number changes in the next 10 years or so. No current published widespread data about an incidence change as of yet.
Don’t burn me alive please, these are just the known published numbers.
