Following Buffalo Bills safety Damar Hamlin’s on-field collapse on Monday due to cardiac arrest, health officials say hundreds of thousands of Americans suffer the condition every year—triggering questions about what to do if someone experiences the emergency medical condition.

On Wednesday afternoon, the Bills said in a statement that Hamlin is still in critical condition at a Cincinnati hospital but is “showing signs of improvement.” A day before, the organization confirmed he suffered cardiac arrest after his on-field collapse before his heart rhythm was restored.
