Christian Eriksen has been a ticking time-bomb since his cardiac arrest in 2021, because his cardiologist could not find the cause, and his scans were normal.
The incident today will have been fully-recorded on ECG, as his ICD automatically records an Electrocardiogram of Eriksen's heart rhythm, 24/7.
Doctors will be looking for what happened BEFORE his collapse.
These sudden collapses are caused by a heart rhythm called Ventricular Fibrillation, a life-threatening arrhythmia, often caused by a genetic heart condition, but sometimes they are termed "idiopathic" when heart scans are clear. This simply means no cause was identified, but that is not the same as "no cause existed."
In this case, cardiologists will be able to carefully examine a 10 minute ECG, usually comprising the five minutes before the collapse, and the five minutes after. Usually, the heart rhythm becomes highly-irregular, a minute or two before the collapse- which triggers the device to start recording, while any corrective "shocks" are given.
This has a very good chance of finally diagnosing Eriksen with what really happened back in 2021, when his heart rhythm was not recorded.
Not knowing the cause must have caused Eriksen sleepless nights, but now he may finally get a definitive diagnosis from his implanted heart monitor.
Good luck, Christian!
Delighted to see Slot gone because he has been waaaaay off the mark.
Salah single handedly carried him to that league title last year!
Great news but a huge disappointment that Xabi Alonso went to Chelsea!
The mentality of Michรกel Martin is just baffling. People being denied "essential freedom to move".. Ehh... Travel restrictions in Covid?
People not able to make appointments.... The appointments are probably 2 years in the waiting anyway due to further failures. Boggles the mind
@CorkHurlingPod I get what you're saying and I laughed but it seemed to go on forever if you were at the game (maybe you were) and people actually got sick of watching it and left for half time. Nobody actually wants to see that shite.
