Bronny James to Make Full Recovery After Sudden Cardiac Arrest, Family Confirms

On Friday, the family of Bronny James, the eldest son of NBA megastar LeBron James, released a statement regarding his cardiac arrest on July 24. According to the statement, medical evaluations by experts from Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, the Mayo Clinic and the Morristown Medical Center determined that the cause of the 18-year-old’s sudden cardiac arrest was an “anatomically and functionally significant congenital heart defect which can and will be treated.”

Cardiac arrest is a medical emergency that requires immediate attention. If someone is experiencing cardiac arrest, it is important to call 911 and begin cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). CPR is a life-saving technique that involves chest compressions and rescue breaths. Chest compressions help to keep oxygen-rich blood flowing to the heart and brain, while rescue breaths provide oxygen to the lungs.

When someone is in cardiac arrest, it is also important to use an automated external defibrillator (AED). An AED is a device that can detect an abnormal heart rhythm and deliver an electric shock to the heart to restore a normal rhythm. AEDs are available in many public places, such as airports, schools, and shopping malls.

The family of Bronny James is thankful for the medical experts who were able to diagnose and treat his cardiac arrest. It is important to remember that anyone can experience cardiac arrest and it is essential to be aware of the life-saving techniques that can help someone in this situation.
