Development of a Chest Wall Protector Effective in Preventing Sudden Cardiac Death by Chest Wall Impact (Commotio Cordis)

Conclusions: Effective protection against VF with chest wall protection can be achieved in an experimental model of commotio cordis.
Clinical Relevance: Chest protector designs incorporating these novel materials will likely be effective in the prevention of commotio cordis on the playing field.
