The cause of Bronny James' sudden cardiac arrest has been revealed. After a comprehensive evaluation at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center and follow-up evaluations at the Mayo Clinic and Atlantic Health/Morristown Medical Center, it has been determined that the probable cause of the cardiac arrest was a Congenital Heart Defect.
