The heart attack technique is taught to KGB members to kill.
According to the Times, which quotes Vladimir Osechkin, founder of the human rights group Gulagu.net, Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny was killed with a punch to the heart, a technique used by KGB special forces agents. after being exposed to low temperatures for several hours.
According to Osechkin, who cites a source working at the Arctic penal colony where Navalny died last Friday, the bruises found on his body indicate the "punch" technique.
What is the punching technique?
In general, we talk about a heart attack (or precordial punch) in connection with a manual maneuver to defibrillate the cardiac organ during an arrhythmia. Punching the heart is considered an emergency maneuver, recommended only in the absence of a defibrillator and consists of a single blow to the sternum, at the height of the heart, at a distance of about 20 centimeters. The maneuver should be performed only once within 30 seconds of the onset of cardiac arrest.
According to the Times, however, the heart attack technique is taught to KGB members to kill. Victims are first exposed to low temperatures to weaken the heart muscles.
Such events can also happen in everyday life, but they are rare. The shock produces ventricular fibrillation without damaging the sternum, ribs and heart. This is, as mentioned, an extremely rare event that mainly affects young athletes (more often in lean subjects). The case of an English boy who died in 2017 after taking a ball to his heart. But on the other hand, you can be hit thousands of times by a soccer ball (or a baseball) and nothing happens.
There is only a fraction of a second in the cardiac cycle window in which a stroke can cause cardiac arrest, namely during the early phase of ventricular repolarization, a phase that can last as long as 20 to 40 milliseconds. This is almost always a fatal situation. This technique is used only by KGB agents who have been trained for years.
Zidane's header on Materazzi
Even the case of Zidane's famous headbutt on Materazzi during the 2006 World Cup final could have caused cardiac arrest according to various sports doctors and cardiologists precisely because of the type of blow. In fact, it is widely documented in the medical literature that sudden violent shocks at the level of the precordial chest area, ie. over the heart, can cause cardiac arrest, especially in young athletes, if the stroke spreads to the heart at some point. / Pamphlet
