🫀 Experts have strongly rejected posts that endorse slapping a person's elbows if they suffer a heart attack. They told AFP the purported treatment “lacks any scientific evidence” and “endangers lives”
Tiefenbacher, who also sits on the board of the German Heart Foundation, wrote in an email:"This information is wrong. Information of this kind is scandalous from a medical point of view because it deters sufferers and helpers in the emergency event of a heart attack from the only correct first aid measure, which is to call the emergency services. It thereby endangers the life of the heart attack patient.
She said: “There is no medically proven evidence that this elbow-clapping technique can be used to trigger increased blood flow to the heart or even a dissolution of the clot in the heart, apart from locally increased blood flow to the arm.The Hong Kong Brain Foundation confirmed in an email to AFP on April 26 that there was no scientific basis for the purported method of treating seizures shown in the video.
