The possible causes of the fainting that suffered Eriksen

The cardiologist of the Hospital Clínic, Dr. Josep Brugada, explained which could have been the causes so that the Danish midfield player of 29 years, Christian Eriksen, desmayara during the party between Denmark and Finland:

"When it occurs it is exceptional, and the exception has a lot of impact for being sporty of elite súper controlled (…) Alas means that they have not had the opportunity to revive it immediately. They have had to be working during practically 20 minutes. We know little, but the form to fall very súbitamente gives me very bad spine", advanced the cardiologist on the use in situ of desfibriladores in statements given to Sportive Carousel of the BE.

And it added: "After seeing how was the player, by the form to fall sudden, gives me very bad spine from the point of view of the gravity. Almost 98% are anomalies of the heart. It can have some cerebral pathology or of aorta but everything aims to heart, some problem arrítmico of the heart of Eriksen. If it had been a hit of heat to the few minutes had been able to raise and be attended in the band, but has not been the case".

However, the announcement of the UEFA and of the Danish Federation that the footballer is awake, stable and subjecting to examinations in the hospital is a good news for the doctor: "The message that it is awake means that Eriksen has recovered the circulation through the heart by the arrhythmia and this means that it follows alive. If it is awake, this cardiac unemployment, a priori, has had few consequences for him by the fast diligence of which have treated him and by the vicinity of the hospital to the stadium".

"Be conscious and awake are grandísimas news that show that it does not have any grave sequela. That it was not intubado is a glorious news. From now, they expect him intensive proofs and look for the cause of why has occurred him. Even, they will do him a cateterismo. We will see if this will allow him follow like professional footballer", added the doctor afterwards that it confirmed that it remained stable.

What said another doctor

By his part, the cardiologist Manuel Marina, expressed that the Danish could have suffered an unemployment cardiorespiratorio. "It seems that it has had an unemployed cardiorrespiratoria. The majority of the times that a player goes in in unemployed generate it cardiopathies. It has revived and these manoeuvres have done that it recovered the consciousness. The first minutes are key in what it has suffered Eriksen.

It adds that, in cases like this, apply RCP quickly can save the life of the one who suffer an episode of this type. "Apply a cardiac massage, a RCP, and when it has arrived the device is fundamental. It is a luck that there is desfibriladores in the field. The following hours in the UCI are fundamental in the recovery of the player to avoid that it repeat ".
