“At 98%, Eriksen has suffered an arrhythmic problem”

It has been the image of the day and perhaps of the year. Christian Eriksen lying on the grass of the Copenhagen stadium and with all his teammates forming a circle. ORharsh images that have been around the world.

Sports Carousel of the SER has spoken with the Dr. Josep Brugada, cardiologist at Hospital Clínic, to analyze Christian Eriksen's fading during Denmark-Finland: “When it happens it is exceptional, and the exception has a lot of impact for being super controlled elite athletes.” “Unfortunately it means they haven't had a chance to revive him immediately. They have had to be working for almost 20 minutes. We know little, but the way of falling very suddenly gives me a very bad feeling“, advanced the cardiologist on the in situ use of defibrillators.

“After seeing how the player was, because of the way he fell suddenly, It gives me a very bad feeling from the point of view of gravity. Almost 98 percent are abnormalities of the heart. There may be some cerebral or aortic pathology but everything points to the heart, some arrhythmic problem of Eriksen's heart. If it had been a heat stroke within a few minutes he would have been able to get up and be treated in the band, but it has not been the case. “

The message from UEFA and the Danish Federation that Eriksen is awake, stabilized and undergoing further tests in hospital, for the doctor is good news: “The message that he is awake means that Eriksen has regained circulation through his heart from the arrhythmia and that means he is still alive. If he is awake, that cardiac arrest, a priori, has had few consequences for him due to the rapid diligence of those who have treated him and because of the proximity of the hospital to the stadium “.
