To combat sudden cardiac death in athletes, we must be evidence-driven. Focusing solely on Black basketball players for advanced screening lacks scientific backing. More study, less stigma is the way forward. And an #AEDinEveryGym. See our ACC statement. tinyurl.com/y5debja5

Our goal is for children with heart defects to live a normal life after surgery. More complex defects might require surgeries as an adult. @UVA_PICU #CongenitalHeartDefect #PediatricHeart ow.ly/X4x050MoYyp

Bystander CPR saves lives. In the event of a cardiac emergency, Dial 9-1-1 and administer hands-only CPR along with an AED, if available.
Our thoughts and prayers are with Damar, his family, and the Bills organization.
