Damar Hamlin
DO NOT MAKE EDITS TO THE PAGE. NOTHING IS CONFIRMED ABOUT DAMAR HAMLIN ABOUT HIS CAUSE OF INJURY. 107.184.131.6 (talk) 03:49, 3 January 2023 (UTC)


 * yes, fine, we won't. but is this indeed the primary theory at present?


 * other than him and that italian hockey player, have there been no other famous victims? an article like this usually has a dozen or so names to offer. 2601:19C:527F:A660:43C:F9B3:7CC2:7750 (talk) 06:52, 3 January 2023 (UTC)
 * There are others historically, mainly in baseball, but also hockey. The majority of sufferers are under the age of 18. There's all kinds of literature about this. When it comes to professional sports, teams had significant motivation to not reveal the true nature of some of these injuries unless someone died. There are reports that Chris Pronger suffered this and was quickly revived during a 1998 game.

 * CNN and NHL links if this helps. --Super Goku V (talk) 20:18, 3 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Pronger appears to confirm this himself. Risker (talk) 02:17, 4 January 2023 (UTC)
 * good catch!
 * why has youtube age-locked his video tho?
 * i was just complaining about them doing it on the hamlin tackle...but then they UNdid it! that is, freely avail for about 2 hours after the incident, age-locked for 12 or 15 or w/e hours afterwards, then BACK to freely avail!  what gives? 2601:19C:527F:A660:19D4:23AE:956C:F5C1 (talk) 07:19, 5 January 2023 (UTC)

hearing the term in a lot in coverage/talk radio the last 2 days, but curiously the first cardiologist to pop up claimed it was "very unlikely", given the delayed reaction. "CC would have been instantaneous...or not at all"

i know nothing about any of this, but just pointing it out. we should be even MORE cautious about adding his name here! 2601:19C:527F:A660:19D4:23AE:956C:F5C1 (talk) 07:22, 5 January 2023 (UTC)


 * Damar Hamlin himself confirmed on April 18 that it was commotio cordis. There are many websites that reported this. I inserted a brief paragraph into the article, citing one of those websites. I'm a WP:n00b, so I apologize if I screwed up, or if I'm commenting in the wrong place. Y'all do feel free to edit what I added; I won't take offense. :) Yesthatbruce (talk) 01:53, 10 May 2023 (UTC)

Question about sentence in lead
The lead says that this affliction occurs "almost exclusively in boys of about 15 years old." That seemed strange to me. Is that phrasing truly correct? The reference seems to say that 15 is the average age of sufferers. I'm hesitant to get involved in medical articles, though. Zagal e jo (talk) 06:17, 5 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Good catch. Source is misrepresented. It says: Bon courage (talk) 08:26, 5 January 2023 (UTC)

Effect with an Inverted T-wave?
Does an Inverted T-wave have any effect on susceptibility to Commotio Cordis? The T-wave is descending rather than rising at the beginning of the T-wave cycle when it is Inverted. Stargzer (talk) 01:06, 9 January 2023 (UTC)
