Popular Post kingofsurrey Posted February 12, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted February 12, 2020 Paramedics are heroes. Way underpaid for the challenging work they do.... Politicians are like pigs at the trough.... and our wonderful men and women paramedics can't seem to get paid what they deserve. 3 1 4 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She outgrew it in mid teens Thank You and glad to hear that your sister battled through it, It does get in your head a bit always hoping it doesn't happen again especially driving and when no one is around you. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueDragon23 Posted February 12, 2020 Share Posted February 12, 2020 Absolutely Terrifying. Reminds me of the Jiri Fischer and Rich Peverley incidents. I pray for his wellbeing and hope he recovers fast. But after something like this, makes me think that he may have played his final game. Family and Health come first. All the best to JB.

HKSR Posted February 12, 2020 Share Posted February 12, 2020 Hockey aside, hope he makes a full recovery. It is probably for the best if he hangs up the skates now. He has had a great career! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cuporbust Posted February 12, 2020 Share Posted February 12, 2020 Seeing "cardiac episode" allot . 2 hours ago, sonoman said: You may be right. Wait and see though. Unfortunately quite a lot of these events are caused by ARVD. Not common but could result in retirement from playing. Yes apparently it was . So scary. Actually turned my stomach to watch. Really hope he is ok. #prayersforJay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

amplified0ne Posted February 12, 2020 Share Posted February 12, 2020 (edited) Thoughts with Jay and his family. Seems like he was out there for an extended shift, these guys train their bodies to recover so quick & reduce their heart rate between shifts that the human body wasnt made for. Hope he recovers and if he chooses to get back on the ice all the best. Edited February 12, 2020 by amplified0ne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrJockitch Posted February 12, 2020 Share Posted February 12, 2020 I hope he is okay, horribly scary. I wonder what kind of testing these guys get in camp. I have seen the physical forms the NHL sends out to the family doc from when players are growing up, though we see precious little of these guys as they grow up because they are generally so healthy. I know there was a movement at the Olympics to make sure every athlete gets a physical and some cardiac testing though I don't believe that the benefit of that stood up to study. I would think an ECG would be done on all the players at least once a year. An echo is probably a good idea especially on older players as the prevalence of cardiomyopathies and resultant arrythmias in older athletes is just beginning to be understood. Now this next statement is meant as a generalization and not at all saying anything about Jay, the other common cause of this sort of thing in someone this young with pre-existing cardiac issues is cocaine.

dpn1 Posted February 12, 2020 Share Posted February 12, 2020 I have to be honest, I couldn't finish watching it past his collapse. Thoughts and prayers are with him and his family. #prayforjay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghostsof1915 Posted February 12, 2020 Share Posted February 12, 2020 I find it still amazing that highly trained and fit athletes can still have a heart attack (Sorry I refuse to be PC and call it a cardiac event). Don't rush his recovery, and listen to your doctors. It would suck to have to give up a sport that you love. My sister for years has been a distance runner. And recently her doctor told her knees can't keep up the strain. It broke her heart. But now she takes a spin class and is having a blast. But she misses running. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prinzmetals_angina Posted February 12, 2020 Share Posted February 12, 2020 Probably not a heart attack (myocardial infarction) in the traditional sense, which happens over minutes to hours and involves heart tissue dying. Likely a cardiac arrhythmia until proven otherwise, especially the way he just went out. Probably didn't feel anything weird until it was happening. Hope he makes a full recovery! Hard to know whether he'll play again. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It can be called a 'cardiac event' because they wouldn't have known the specific pathology at the time without testing, all they would have known is that it was cardiac in nature. Heart attack (MI) would have, in all likelihood, been factually incorrect. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tre Mac Posted February 12, 2020 Share Posted February 12, 2020 Yikes, that's scary. Glad he got a cup, I feel old as I remember watching him get drafted(Florida iirc?). He also always reminded of the brother on Eastbound and Down. Best wishes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hard to know whether he'll play again. actually could have been a heart attack, they won't know until all the testing is done. I have had 2 heart attacks, both very different, both required triple bypasses. one came on suddenly and the other over a matter of days. I hope to never go thru that again. my son just last summer suffered a heart attack, but his was totally different. his was called SCAD, which is kind of rare, he has not been able to work since. he will finally see a SCAD specialist on the 19th and I am hoping for good news.
