stewarty 1,998 Posted September 13, 2010 Share Posted September 13, 2010 playing for Ajax reserves I'm hearing. Don't have any other details. Sad news if true - the guy must be only about 22/22 years old. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gazza_8 233 Posted September 13, 2010 Share Posted September 13, 2010 Clubs should be made to do more stringent tests on their players. This happens all to often in a time and age when medical equipment can find the problems before they get serious. Prevention over cure. Hope he makes a full recovery. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest EuanC Posted September 13, 2010 Share Posted September 13, 2010 This is becoming far too common. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
metlika 0 Posted September 14, 2010 Share Posted September 14, 2010 I thought heart tests were becoming more common after certain events in recent years. Thuram had to retire because he had a heart problem. I hope Sno makes a full recovery 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ascender 352 Posted September 14, 2010 Share Posted September 14, 2010 Hope he makes a full recovery obviously, shocking stuff. Players will I'm sure have had ECGs and ECGs under stress, so they should show up any abnormalities which may put someone at an increased risk of heart failure. The club and player will insist on it for their insurances I'm sure, I've had to provide ECGs to enter some races I've done and that's at a (very) amateur level. I did read somewhere that the heart is an area where we're still learning a lot about it and about more abnormalities all the time, I'm guessing due to advances in screening. Its scary stuff though when you see professional athletes keeling over. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete 2,499 Posted September 15, 2010 Share Posted September 15, 2010 The fact is guy's that unless there is cause for concern you can't send everyone for heart check-ups taking up precious hospital time with healthy people. From what i know is that a heart-attack produces a gas in your body and that is what shows up on heart equipment. If you have had no heart attack then there is no Gas. There is no machine in the world to measure what has not happened. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
