Scary situation. Bronny James cardiac

Damn - hope he’s okay. Anyways this thread is going to get AIDS soon.
Had a friend back in 07 in Seventh Grade collapse at the free throw line and die on the spot. Had a hole in his heart the size of a grain of sand
I deleted my comment, mostly because I thought it was in poor taste in hindsight. However, you can bet it’s probably coming.
Scary. It’s crazy how many people have had this happen playing basketball with an undiagnosed heart condition.
The "I told you so folks" will be all over this. Wish I had listened.
FYI- You never see MJ's son going down like this....
I kid I kid.... Hope this kid gets better soon.

yeah my first thought was "here comes a debate on the cause" which is crazy
EKGs should be done on all prep athletes, free of charge (imo).

would that catch a hole the size of a grain of sand? I thought EKGs are just the to tell the rhythm
My best friend died of heart failure when we were 14. He had enlargement on the back side of his heart. He collapsed at football practice and ended up passing 3-4 days later.

an echo with a bubble study would be needed to catch this.
Hank Gathers always comes to mind when I hear stories like this
He's too busy going down like this...
I had a heart murmur growing up and didn't know it till I was in my 20ies. Getting a check up and the doc told me, I don't hear your heart murmur anymore. Hole must have closed. Had no idea. My parents never told me. Mine was caused by a small tiny hole. Doc told my parents it would close over time and it did. Crazy stuff.
Praying for a full recovery for Bronny.
Scary stuff when you have a son around the same age.

Dang. Thats nuts. Guess a murmur could tell them there is a hole. The heart is a crazy beast. So many tiny things can go wrong that are catastrophic. GLad yours closed up
This explains alot. I always had a feeling you weren’t right.
Absolutely LOVED their song “Lips Like Sugar” back in the day. Absolute banger.
I’m not solely blaming the vaccine but the noticeable uptick in heart related conditions amongst high level athletes does raise a legitimate question.
IMO, the “Science is Settled” gang is just as crazy as the Anti-Vaxxers. Objective research is needed.
Never affected me one bit. You can imagine the phone call to my mother after that doctor visit. (My dad had passed away) She was like, we didn't want you to worry. I was like WTF.
Seems doubtful he'll play this year let alone against us. It took Keyontae Johnson like a year and a half to get back on the court even though he was believed to be fully recovered.
Yep, what's crazy is all these things keep happening.
Same. I knew about mine as a kid but it seems to have resolved itself some time ago (I'm 65 now)
Given the number of athletes who play B-ball, it isn't common at all. In addition, there are folks with undiagnosed heart problems playing all sports. No need to lie about it, (I'm guessing to try and explain away the recent uptick).
I wish medical professionals and other authorities would stop lying and suppressing data. Just do real science and try to determine the true root cause, whatever it turns out to be.
Same thing happened to Jeff Lebos dad and one of his players. He came and spoke to our class while I was at AU and told this story.
A kid on our football team running suicides in the gym during a winter workout dropped dead due to an unknown heart condition. I happened to be in the weight room, but many of my teammates had to watch their friend pass away.
Crazy how they never did before, right?
While we may never be told what caused the issue, we will be told ad nauseum what absolutely, positively DID NOT cause the issue...whether it did or not.
My wife and I went to a funeral Saturday for a 29 year old friend of ours who died in her sleep. No history of seizures or heart disease. Wasn't overweight. Just went to bed and didn't wake up. No drugs, no foul play, nothing. You just never know man.
Seems like we could make an echo and EKG a routine screen that has to be completed at time intervals in kid's lives if they are playing sports. Like do one before you start playing sports, then at ages 10, 15, and 20 going forward. I'm sure insurance companies are the problem though.
I had a 28 year-old friend who died about 20 years ago on his way to work. He was stopped at an intersection when his heart just stopped. COD was an aortic aneurism. Bad shit happens to good people some times.
