Christian Eriksen UPDATE | Getting an ICD | Is this CAREER ENDING? | Doctor Explains!

- Yesterday we received news that Denmark Football Star Christian Eriksen is getting an ICD implanted in his heart. This likely means that he has a structural heart condition that puts him at risk of life threatening arrhythmias. In this video I discuss what an ICD is and what it means for the future of his football career.
My original video is here: • Christian Eriksen COLL... .
Denmark midfielder Christian Eriksen COLLAPSED on the field during the Denmark vs Finalnd game (UEFA Euro 2020).
And ICD is an implantable cardioverter defibrillator that is used to restart the heart if it goes into an abnormal heart rhythm. Common causes for this are congestive heart failure, poor heart function after a heart attack, and cardiomyopathy. In a healthy 29 year old the main causes include hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HOCM), long Qt syndrome, WPW, and Brugada syndrome.
And ICD will detect when the heart goes into a dangerous rhythm (ventricular fibrillation or ventricular tachycardia) and shocks the heart back into a normal rhythm.
The fact that he is receiving an ICD indicates that his collapse was due to a cardiac cause. This can very well mean that he will not longer be able to play football at the professional level. This however, will be a discussion with his physicians, family, and cardiologists. There are reports of some athletes returning to play, but they are also willing to accept the risk of the heart requiring a shock should they go into that dangerous irregular rhythm.

Thank you doctor for the video. It’s just giving us a clear picture of what’s happening with Christian Eriksen at this moment in time. Thousands and thousands of Medical students around the world are very interested in your videos. We do look forward for more updates from you in the future.
We wished Chris Eriksen a happy wealthy life and his family.
I’m glad you find them helpful! :)
Dr. I have a 100% blockage of the LAD. Heavy scar tissue blockage from 1 or 2 prior silent MI events. Thus stenting and bypass were not conceivable. I am told only a defibulator can work to protect me against deadly MI. I'm struggling with the decision since I am otherwise in good health, and not surgery oriented. This vid by you made answered my nagging questions. Thank you. You are a credit to medicine.

Very well explained 👏
Thank you 🙂 Im glad you found it helpful!
You deserve more views . I Give you a idea . Make a video on indian players .
Thanks for this update, it's very sad but I think his career is over. His biggest battle will be psychological I think because he said he will never give up ( I think he means never give up his desire to return to football). Fortunately, he's rich enough to never have to work again. But at 29, understandably he doesn't want to just sit at home for the rest of his life, or take an office job.
Yea for sure. These athletes train all their lives for a shot at the professional stage. Having to give it up is incredibly difficult. There was an article asking athletes if they would take a lethal drug if it meant they are guaranteed to win the olympics that year. A majority said they would. Just goes to show us how dedicated they are, sometimes to the detriment of long term health outcomes.
Actually he has his career back
He is now play in Man Utd
Looks like they haven’t found a pathological issue . I’m just glad he is alive . you should check out this other footballer called David blind . He suffered from a form of myocarditis in dec 2019 ,later implanted with an ICD . He returned back to playing professionally for ajax . I think there were reports (not sure ) read them online . That he collapsed in a preseason friendly in 2020 (?ICD failure .)He is still playing for the Netherlands . I guess since we should leave it to the cardiologists to decide .
Yea, thanks for pointing that out! I looked into that. This is where it can get tricky and really is a “it depends answer”. I believe they did find a pathological issue but they haven’t come out and said if it was HOCM or an electrical disturbance that could lead to arrhythmias. Whether Or not he can return to play will depend on the specific heart condition and the risk of recurrent events.
@@SonamMD totally agree with your assessment . Great video 👍
@@ragsrama Thanks :)
His name is Daley Blind. Just to avoid confusion.
Thanks for the explanation Doc. Just wondering what’s the preventive action to take here and how long does the ICD lasts before replacement?
Unfortunately in cases such as these, the heart can go into an abnormal rhythm at any point and there really isn't much Eriksen can do to prevent it. Now depending on the type of heart condition he has, he may be asked to limit his intensity. In terms of the ICD - this is the best form of prevention we have in these patients. The ICD acts as an internal AED. If his heart was to stop or go into that dangerous rhythm, it will detect it and shock his heart (much like what was done on the field).
In terms of how long these lasts, this is more of a specialized question for an electrophysiologist/cardiologist. It is a function of how often it has to go off as well as if there is any malfunction of the device. Usually its on the order of years, but I would defer to my cardiology colleagues for this one :)
@@SonamMD Thanks for taking time to answer my question wishing you a Happy Summer 2021.
