Generally young athletes are at highest risk of commotio cordis, a rare cause of cardiac arrest. Commotio cordis is caused by an impact to a precise spot on the chest at exactly the wrong time in the heartbeat. The only way to save someone's life after commotio cordis is to call 911, begin CPR, and use an automatic external defibrillator.

Katz Dean and Executive Vice President and Chief Academic Officer, Montefiore Medicine, Albert Einstein College of Medicine, explains who is at risk of commotio cordis.
