- LaMarcus Aldridge shocked the basketball world this morning by announcing his retirement due to a heart condition that has bothered him his entire career. He was diagnosed with Wolff-Parkinson-White during his rookie season with the Portland Trailblazers, a congenital heart condition that puts you at risk of abnormal heart beats. In this video we'll explain what this is and review the anatomy and function of the heart.

I got a condition that causes me to have a dilated aortic root, so I get Aldridge’s fear. He knows his family needs him more than the game.
Bruh same, my aortic valve dilated and I’m finna have to get open heart surgery within some years and I’m still under 20.... shit blows bruh. Also had some svt episodes out of nowhere and shit was horrible😞
Praying for you guys and your family as well as anyone else going through similar conditions 🙏🏾❤️
@@test-ky8tu ay man best of wishes to you. Stay strong 🙏🏻
We’re y’all born with these conditions ? Like diagnosed when u were babies or what
@@saucegod8079 Yea usually u born with it but it's never known until you're older because it's never checked for since there's no complications at first. When I was like 15 or sumth I had to get an echo for non heart issue related reasons and they found out about it. I never even knew cuz I was always healthy and active growing up. Most people never have complications until they're older and by then it's bad and needs to be taken care of with surgery urgently. That's also why you hear of totally "healthy" seeming young people just dying from heart issues out of nowhere when playing sports or working out.
As a physician who often finds myself shaking my head when sports commentators try to talk about medical problems, their shows would benefit greatly from your straight forward explanations.
What do you mean ?
Sports commentators will see an ankle injury and say it looks like he hurt his knee lol
Bet you tell everyone you’re a physician
@@nikoparoissien-arce8717 actually most of the commentators are former players who've seen alot of these injuries thousands of times and even went through it themselves. More complicated health issues maybe different but they do know what they're talking about. I'm no so sure u do tho.
This means that Portland trio of Aldridge, Oden and Roy each had their own unique health problem. That’s so tragic man
Yeah,i missed that trio:')
I still playing them at 2K
What did they have? Sorry new to NBA
@@wordsinahandle Brandon Roy and Greg Oden was suffered knee injury
Now,Lamarcus Aldridge,heart injury:/
@@cakephone7893 oh no. Thats terribly unfortunate. Thanks for replying
😢😢
Prayers up for LaMarcus Aldridge.
Glad they found that when they did.
One of the better big men in the league for a long time.
Too bad he has to go also Manchester United is overrated
The NBA knew his condition in his rookie year
@@zay_gzs5635 Look at who is talking, patriot
@@zay_gzs5635 Says the patriot fan. Who is american and doesn't know shit about real football to call man u overrated.
@@nunyabusiness8498 can people not have opinions? Like dang. Just because your American or a patriots fan doesn’t mean you can’t talk about soccer/football
There's nothing more important than a player's health. Imagine if he went down in the playoffs with his heart issues...
Wish him nothing but the best
Imagine if he died and couldn't even be in the playoffs. that would be a bummer
@@nielsrisolo7548 0-100 rq
That's ok we could use the milk on the rug
Wish him the best. Definitely deserved a better retirement... Enjoy retirement, LA! 💪
No shit sherlock
@@comptoncardbreakz5239 ?
@@comptoncardbreakz5239 tone down the salt it can cause heart disease
who else get that funny feeling looking at their heart
yeah feels weird
Looks weird but cool tho
Me
always ... i watch these videos holding my chest, my limbs, my face .. whatever the video is about lmao
That's weird and scary. That's the cause of my anxiety.
Skeleton Dame in the background is visibly shaken by the bad news about his long time teammate
😁😁
Brian, your ability to communicate complex medical subjects in a way that is easy to understand is next level. Thank you for all of the information!
WPW...
Brian is seeing patients. Gets an alert on his phone. Tells patient i have to go to the bathroom, and knocks out another video. Appreciate you. Way too look out for us. Thanks 👏
LOL that was funny 👍
aldridge: retires
Dr. Brian: *i am speed*
I got diagnosed with WPW back in 2016 and got surgery for it, the ablation procedure. It worked for me but it doesn’t work for everyone. I feel for Aldridge cuz being told you can’t play anymore is one of the worst feelings an athlete can get.
It’s just a stupid sport, go play it on a PlayStation.. the fact that he has a heart condition is far worse
At least LMA had a long and good career, so he can retire without much regrets. Reggie Lewis tried to continue playing with a heart arrhythmia since he was only 27, and it resulted in his untimely death.
@@ZSleepingDragonZ The sport didn't cause his death. He could have died walking to the grocery store
I as well got an ablation done about 4 years, thank God I'm good now. When I heard about Aldridge having it I got a shiver up my spine remembering how scary having random arrhythmia were. What a terrible experience
Man there was some extremely unlucky Gravity Falls voodoo on those late 2000s Trailblazers. Even the guy who didn't get injured was one heartbeat away. Seriously.
Yeah as a blazers fan we’ve been so unlucky we deserve atleast 4 championships
Eerie...
Gravity Falls takes place in Oregon... maybe thers something we dont know about
Yeah that’s unfortunate. But look at the bright side, if it weren’t for the downfalls, you wouldn’t have drafted talents like Dame.
@@TheShiveringStar Roy Oden and Aldridge is Champions tho
Impressive Aldridge was able to have such a long NBA career with this heart condition!
A lot of people have heart problems that play basketball. It’s pretty normal
@@harlan5339 I don't know if it's true or not. I think it's because they are breathing through their mouths all the time. I monitored all his games it seems like he always was breathing to his mouth.
@@rainbowhouse3427 idk. It could be. It could be just strenuous exercise on the heart, I’m not sure. It’s funny how basketball players at all levels normally do have some type of heart condition.
@@harlan5339 when I was getting my sports physical freshman year of college they found out I had left ventricular hypertrophy
@@KBTjames yeah I was playing basketball sophomore year of high school when they said I had a heart murmur because of a leaky valve. Luckily I was still able to play basketball
My prayers go out to Lamarcus Aldridge and his friends and family, as much as it is a saddening way to end a career, you have to be glad that he was able to catch it early enough and take the necessary actions to preserve his health 🙏🏾❤️
Smart decision, wish him the best. Life is more important than a game.
Great video and explanation of our heart function. Prayers to the big fella. Life is bigger than basketball 🏀. Thank you for giving your best to San Antonio. 🙏🏼
I was waiting soooo bad for this video from you!! Thanks for Doc!
Hi Doc....
Your lessons and analysis are informative and easily understood!!!
Thanks for the anatomy refreshers!!!
I had an ablation after years of dealing with this and not knowing what it was. It changed my life!! Now I can exercise without having to worry about my heart going crazy. Sad to hear the procedures didn’t work for him but I imagine to be at that level of athlete it requires your heart to be 100%
Very insightful! Felt like I was back in anatomy/physiology class in college listening to you
As a paramedic and a sports fan, this channel is fantastic. Thank you! Keep up the good work.
Thanks for the Knowledge!
great explainations, simple and well detailed..keeo up the good work
Nurse here. Great explanation Dr. Sutterer! Easy to understand for non-medical people. Love your channel.
Great video! Love to see anatomy insight even though it’s in a tragic situation
Great refresher on the anatomy of the heart. This is what professors teach in a half a class done in 6 minutes. Very concise and well done
I was waiting for this doc! Thank you!
Thank you Brian for having a such awesome channel, also have a great retirement LaMarcus Aldridge
Fantastic upload and learn about the anatomy of our heart. Good job Doc!!
Wow thank you for the videos, learning something new everyday, understanding different syndromes and conditions.
I’ve always wondered does Dr Brian just know all of this stuff already, like he already learned all of this stuff at medical school, or does he just study a topic before he makes a video for that injury? Either way you’re the real MVP for getting these out so fast Doc 🙌🏻🙌🏻
These are the basics of every doktor! In which direction of healt care is decided after the completion of the compulsory program.
Both
>Medical student here in the states. you get tested on this condition all throughout medical school. He did a great job explaining it, a lot better than some stuff I’ve came across
How old are you?
You learn all of this in medical school. Generally, a quick review is all it takes to bring back everything.
Awesome video, very informative.
Thanks Doc. I'm going though PA school. Your content really helps me better understand the topics that have been taught since Im big sports fan.
Excellent explanation 👌
Another great video!
Good Work Doc! im taking a break from studying for step 1, so this was a great review
I really appreciate all these sports injury videos, after high school and uni I want to go to med school to become an orthopaedic surgeon and they help me understand how they can occur.
Love your videos man,very consistent
Absolutely brilliant information, thank you 🙏 Doc!
the body is a fascinating machine, great content!
Thank you for this explanation. I was diagnosed with WPW about 4 years ago and every episode is a scary thing. So I am surprised that LA was able to play in high level every night in his NBA career. Heard that he was cleared to play for one more year. Hope he stays healthy during the whole season.
Man this guy is like the news for sports injuries 💯 no one else is doing this! Thank you for great content 👍🏼👍🏼
Great explanation doc
Incredible good explanation. 🙏
I have the exact same condition. I was playing football when I passed out and my coach made me get a checkup. I got an ablation to fix it. WPW will forever be a part of me
It's not forever,it's just last until it fixed or you death:/
Hope you can get better:)
Hopefully your ablation sticks! I've had it done twice and so far no luck... Going in for a 3rd attempt soon, if that doesn't work then I'll have to go down the medication route which would be a disaster.
@@homedogoli I got it done about 8 years ago now. I’m 23 and was when I was about 15 or 16. It’s stuck ever since then. I was successful in basketball thanks to the surgery.
@@Matt-et6me Glad to hear it man! I wasn't even diagnosed until I was 26 (I'm 30 now). I definitely had symptoms in my early 20s but they weren't severe enough for me to think there was a serious problem. I thought what was happening to me was normal lmao... It got a lot worse in my mid-late 20s though, so it made it almost impossible to avoid.
Great explanation Doc🤗🤗
Absolutely love the animations. Great learning material for med and health care students
What's up doc, I am still a student physical therapist and i am learning through your videos about real life sport injuries. Thank you!
Very well explained
I haven't been following the NBA for a long time. When I was still in middle school I knew him as one of the best mid-range shooter among PFs. That's what makes him special because every other PFs was just these athletic slam dunk monsters. Fast forward to now knowing that he's going to retire due to health issues, I really feel bad for him. But I'd still wish him good health and best of all luck in the future.
Excellent job once again Doc!
very interesting, thanks
Tremendous explanation!!
Been subbed since 2018 good to see your channel has gotten hella subs since then.
You are an elite doctor and you know your stuff very well
You are the 🐐at this educational videos 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
Love the content, solid explanation of WPW (I've forgotten a lot since med school...). Glad LA is taking care of himself. Go Blazers!
Dr. Sutterer dropping knowledge bombs!
I am a huge basketball fan. I am also in the middle of my last course of nursing school and just had lecture on ECG interpretation. I also have a heart dysrhythmia. I also have had a cardiac ablation to try and fix that dysrhythmia. This video hit home in so many ways. Get well LaMarcus. Nice Video Doc.
@SplayMnBoss What are you doing when you get this stabbing pain? Are you exercising or resting? If you worried about heart attack, that pain is usually described as pressure. Chest pain can be hard to diagnose. It could simply be heart burn. The heart hate increase could be caused from pain or nerves. You could be having some runs of SVT or VT. Are you symptomatic other than the pain? Do you feel lightheaded, dizzy, fatigued when this happens?
I'm only a nursing student. I would consult your doctor if you are able to. They can hook you up to an ECG. It's a machine that looks at how your heart is pumping. They could also do a echocardiogram that can give your doctors an idea at how efficient you heart is pumping. Sorry your experiencing these pains.
@SplayMnBoss SVT or VT are fancy words for a rapid heart rate. The fact that you are getting this pain while inhaling makes it unlikely that it is related to your heart. Try and quit smoking, that will kill you. Again I am not expert. Try and go see a doctor. You can practice deep breathing exercise to help with lung function and anxiety.
wow, shocking news, but glad hes taking it safe and looking out for himself and loved ones. thanks for all the seasons of greatness LA
we thank you Aldridge for your contributions the NBA.. wishing you well and all the best in your new chapter in life..
I love watching your videos
Nice breakdown. I love how the heart diagram shows how a heart should function and what the disease he has does to the heart’s normal function
You would be great at teaching EKG or telemetry strip reading Dr. It is difficult for people to learn tele for some reason but that was the easiest way to learn it I have seen (I just graduated nursing school too😃). It's so cool we can see heart malfunction from a simple device. Great video once again!!
Always being the fastest to publish health reports!
This is the condition I was diagnosed with March 2020! Over the past year I have had 2 ablation and I am hoping everything is fixed now. I hope the best for him!
You're great men. Good job 👌
Great review for my Cardiology Pathology test. Wishing the best for LaMarcus Aldridge.
Thank you for explaining this Dr. I had SVT (Supraventricular Tachycardia) which is very similar to WHW and had a an ablation procedure done to mitigate my condition.
Simplest explanation of WPW, I’ve heard. Love the channel.
Heart is probably the best engine ever discovered. With reliability reaching upto 80+ years if properly maintained.
i like how i log in to youtube and find out about critical basketball ball news from a doctor before anywhere else :D
Man he is a great player last of the great post power forwards , God bless him hope he gets well
Am glad he stepped down and hope he'll live a normal, healthy life. He had a great career. An acquired aortal valve insufficiency patient since the age of 22 and with an artificial replacement since 30 (24 years ago), I have an idea how he feels. And thank you - after 45 years of going through ECG checks, I finally get what they show.
Aldridge has that “i’m over the bullshit merry go round that is the NBA” He’s smart to get out good while he still can
Too bad for LA. This could've been his season for a ring. Sending prayers for his health!
I love your channel
awesome video
Love that you’re going beyond the ortho. Should do a video on HOCM
Very interesting video, I wished you talked more about potentially dangerous aspects related to sports in this context as sometimes we fans don't see it's vastness and need to retire so fast.
Well done ,As a medical student I found this really useful.I,ve never heard wpw explained like that
Educational at its finest ! ! !
This channel is highly underrated
Dope ass channel! Always come here when something like this happens
jesus watching this made my heart a little shakyy. im overthinking rn. prayers up for LA
Sorry for him to make him feel better 🥲LAKERS IN 5
Well presented for us lay people, thank you.
Damn your quick with it
You're*

Hey man I would love to hear a video on the risk on the ulna ? This side has been hurting for about 4 weeks now and I feel some sort of pain
🙏Prayers up for LaMarcus Aldridge and his Family 🙏
I wish you had this channel when I was in Anatomy class
Great stuff. May I ask what software or video editing you use to produce your videos? I would like to do something similar to what you are doing here in the sport of jiu-jitsu. However I am entirely green to making videos and how acquire and ultimately edit clips for educational proposes. Any info you would have would be greatly appreciate. Thanks again for all the great content and your work doc.
You never fail me doc!! Haha🙏🙏🙏🙏
Hey man I love the videos. I’m wondering what your opinion/views are on creatine in general and if it ok for active fit teenage males
Prayers out to my guy Marcus
I had WPW syndrome and got an ablation back in 2014. I do not have anymore episodes, however, I have a persistent skipping heart beat that acts up at random. I completely understand his decision to retire. It's a scary condition that makes you feel uneasy
Do yu have to be born with it?!!!!! How does it make yu feel i might have it
@@deshawnreding9575 yea you have to be born with it
Similar situation that happened to me trying out for basketball not knowing what's going on suddenly feeling a bit Anxious and I told my coach that my heart was beating to Fast and everyone was making jokes about it at me saying that what's it supposed to do. But really I was experiencing Heart Palpitations at the time which I couldn't handle anymore. It got to point were it would go BOOM out of no where, it's definitely a nerve recking feeling that is scary
I want to be like you when I become a doctor next year! Your videos are great, mixing my 2 favorite things: sports and medicine
What a lovely career from a guy with a broken heart
@D A I’ll try harder next time
