My husband and I were just discussing this last night. Some of you may remember that he had a massive heart attack last May. He was 60 when it happened. They had to shock him back 6 times, put in three stents and he was vented for three days. The shock to his body caused temporary kidney failure. He did not even have chest compressions done, and he said last night there is no way two weeks post arrest that he could stand up like that let alone raise his arms, and I agree based on what I saw both my husband and mother go through with their heart issues (she had her chest cracked for surgery).

He remembers how weak he was at two weeks post arrest and that even after walking a few feet he would need to rest. He couldn't stand more than a few minutes before he would be so lightheaded he needed to sit. He needed oxygen for the first month at home. He couldn't even start cardiac rehab until week 6, and during rehab was very slow. It wasn't until about 12 weeks post arrest that he regained his strength (he is about 60% what he used to be). He has permanent heart damage. He also couldn't talk long without getting out of breath for the first two months.

Yes, Damar being young and an athlete does make a difference, but the trauma to the chest from compressions, the shock to the body and the damage to the heart (unavoidable) make what we saw in both videos simply not believable, particularly at only two and three weeks out.
