Cautionary Move Signals Bills Doctors Concerned about Risk for Repeat Cardiac Arrest

By Peter A. McCullough, MD, MPH

As a cardiologist I know what is like to take a life literally and hold it in my hands. The decisions that heart specialists make result in life or death. No pro player has ever had a full blown cardiac arrest and returned to the field of play without an implantable cardio defibrillator. Returning to competitive sports with a surgically implanted ICD, able to shock the heart for another cardiac arrest, has been very rare. However we are seeing it in the era of cardiac arrest after concealed COVID-19 vaccination.
