How to SAVE a LIFE - Recognize Sudden Cardiac Arrest in Athletes 

This video is a compilation of real-life cases of sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) in an athlete. The footage shows the actual collapse and SCA event of professional athletes (Damar Hamlin, Marc-Vivien Foé, and Christian Eriksen), a college athlete (Keyontae Johnson), and several high school (Claire Crawford) and youth athletes. This video will help you promptly recognize SCA in a collapsed and unresponsive athlete.
SCA is the leading cause of sudden death in athletes during sports and exercise. SCA is a life-threatening condition typically caused by an electrical disturbance in the heart known as ventricular fibrillation. When an athlete collapses with SCA, they often show signs such as having their eyes open and rolled back; brief seizure-like activity, shaking or twitching; or continued breathing movements after collapse that later deteriorate to occasional (agonal) gasping. SCA is a survivable event through prompt recognition, initiation of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), and rapid use of an automated external defibrillator (AED).
