[Gateway] Dominican professional basketball player, Óscar Cabrera Adames, 28, tragically died of a heart attack on Thursday while undergoing a stress test at a health center in Santo Domingo.A stress test is a medical procedure designed to measure the heart’s ability to respond to external stress in a controlled clinical environment.
It still remains unknown if the stress test was the direct cause of Cabreras’ heart attack.
The tragic news was confirmed by respected Dominican sports commentator, Héctor Gómez, who announced the athlete’s sudden death via an Instagram post.
"Basketball player Óscar Cabrera has just died of a heart attack while performing a stress test, at the age of 28," Gomez wrote.
Back in December 2021, Cabrera collapsed during a game in the Spanish Amateur Basketball League (EBA) at the La Albericia pavilion. He was carried out on a stretcher and subsequently diagnosed with myocarditis, a condition that can impair the heart’s ability to pump blood.
