Lately we've been hearing about young athletes suffering cardiac arrests while playing sports, and in many cases, these young athletes had no known prior heart condition.
Earlier this year, Buffalo Bills safety Damar Hamlin suffered a cardiac arrest.
Most recently, Lebron James's 18-year-old son Bronny suffered one during basketball practice.
Here to shed light on this topic and share some lifesaving information is Dr. Warren Zuckerman, associate professor of pediatric cardiology at Columbia University.
