Re: Belgian Football Player Survives Heartfailure During Game
not a direct translation but basically explains the story. the reporter says that he was unconscious lying on the floor for a while when his heart stopped beating and the defibrillator sent a shock into his heart causing it to start beating again, and so it did it's job and saved his life, this caused him to regain consciousness, whether or not he will continue to play football is uncertain and will be decided after he has undergone health checks. he's had heartproblems for a long time prior to this incident and this is why that device has been installed on his heart. |
