Bronny, 18, an incoming freshman for USC’s basketball team, was hospitalized following the incident, and is now in stable condition and out of intensive care.
Until more is known about the cause of the incident and James’ specific health condition, experts say it’s hard to map out exactly what his recovery will look like, but the fact that he was treated immediately and is already out of the intensive care unit bode well for his recovery, according to, who specializes in sports cardiology at the University of Washington Medical Center.
“Adolescent male basketball players and college male basketball players, for reasons that we don’t fully understand, are by far our single highest risk group of athletes for sudden cardiac arrest,” said Drezner. “In my opinion, they should all be screened with more robust and intensive cardiac screening than occurs typically.”as part of a program for prospective NBA players, according to a source familiar with the matter.
More than 70% of cardiac arrests that happen outside of a hospital occur in homes or private residences, according to the American Heart Association. They say training community members in how to administer cardiopulmonary resuscitation or use an automated external defibrillator can save lives. Drezner said that doctors will likely perform a comprehensive evaluation on James to determine the cause of his cardiac arrest. That will help inform a management plan for his health going forward.
For young athletes like James, having trained staff and an AED on site can boost the survival rate for sudden cardiac arrest to over 80%, Drezner said.during a summer workout. He received CPR from athletic trainers on site, who shocked him back to life. Over six months after the incident, Iwuchukwu recovered and returned to play in a game.
