Heart concussions in the human body is when a person experience exposure to carbon monoxide for a period of time and haveing seizures and heart attacks. This disease was first discovered by Dr. Hienrak van Schäfer in Germany of 1864. When a cannon fired a cannonball, his cousin was near it and was exposed to carbon monoxide. He died four months later with major heart attacks and seizures. When Dr. van Schäfer did an autopsy on his cousin, he discoverd that the carbon monoxide had spread into his lungs, heart, and in his blood. This reaction also caused more carbon dioxide to be in the blood and other major organs. This disease happens to people whose birth mother had a smoking problems and it is rare. It happens to 250 people every 100 years.
