Dr. Cardello said, “This was traumatic and we see that hit happened in that upper chest area. And there are a couple of things that could happen under this scenario.”
The doctor ruled out a spinal cord injury because Hamlin got back up before falling down to the ground. In his opinion, it was a cardiac injury. “When you have a cardiac injury, a couple of things could happen with a large enough hit to the anterior chest, you can transect the aorta, the large blood vessel coming out of that heart. The third thing we’re thinking about, it’s called the R-on-T phenomenon. This is a phenomenon that when the heart is going between its beats, as that heart is depolarizing, and then repolarizing,” Dr. Cardello further said.
