NFL star Damar Hamlin’s the shortening caused fear in early January.
Hamlin, representing the Buffalo Bills, took a tough tackle against the Cincinnati Bengals. The tackle was quite routine and Hamlink got up quickly after the tackle.
However, he fell short just a few seconds after this to the surface of the field. He was quickly resuscitated, after which Hamlin was rushed to the hospital.
Hamlin woke up in the hospital after the incident and was the first to ask the doctors if the Bills had won the game.
The recovery began and Hamlin, who plays as a rear defender, said on Tuesday that he had received permission from the doctors to return.
– I died on national television in front of the whole world, Hamlin said at a press conference on Tuesday, according to news.com.au.
Hamlin had been diagnosed with commotio cordis, which can occur in a hard collision.
It causes dangerous ventricular fibrillation.
– There will be a hit at a specific point in the heartbeat, which causes a cardiac arrest. Five to seven seconds later it gets shorter and everyone actually saw it on January 2, Hamlin said and continued:
– It is the most common cause of death among young athletes in all sports.

Hamlin says he wants to get back into the sport because he loves the game so much. He plans to use that experience so that no one else experiences the same.
– I want to prove to myself, not to anyone else, I just want to show people that fear is a choice and you can continue without knowing where the end of the tunnel is. You may feel anxious, but you just have to keep putting your right foot in front of your left and keep moving forward.
Hamli’s marketing manager Jordan Rooney to those people who speculated that Hamlin’s cardiac arrest was caused by someone else.
– There were outrageous theories about his state of health. Every single doctor said it was commotio cordis. She experienced a life-changing trauma and wanted to complete medical tests before speaking publicly.
– The talks about the vaccine and the accusations that he is hiding things were completely false and slanderous, Rooney continued.
