Dr. Brian Sutterer: "In the grand scheme of things, they were able to legitimately save Bronny's life." When someone goes into cardiac arrest, you must act quickly to preserve their life. Congratulations to the medical personnel who were present; I'm sure if this had been an official USC practise, athletic trainers would have been present. They would have had first responders who could have given Bronny CPR and actually saved his life. The next stage is to determine what exactly happened, because it is not safe to allow an athlete to return to sports after a cardiac arrest, especially if you don't know what happened. To determine what happened, they will check for 1) whether this was anything congenital or acquired.monitor the electrical activity of the heart, stress tests in which he is placed on a treadmill, exerted, and arrhythmias in the cardiac function are observed. That is how they will establish what caused the heart arrest. In a way, you almost want to find a cause because, typically, if there is a cause, there is a means to handle it. There are some causes of cardiac arrest when you can pinpoint the exact cause and still return to sports since the risk of having another cardiac arrest and maybe dying is so severe. Some of these disorders, such as hypertrophic cardiomyopathy or abnormal coronary arteries, as shown in Shareef O'Neal,I truly understand what occurred. You need to talk about 'what exactly are the risks?' of going back out there and playing. We're dealing with an extremely serious situation, and it's legitimately something that might influence the remainder of his career depending on what we learn and what they have to do about it."
