Very positive update that he is stable this morning.
Sonny, you beautiful human you….
Scored for Korea and ran to the camera to say “Eriksen stay strong. i love you”
I know over here it's taken very seriously now, and there are widespread trials of genetic screening to try and pick up a mutation they suspect is responsible for players of West African descent being so overrepresented in cardiac events. But sadly there's nothing we can do to predict every susceptibility in advance. Unlike a heart attack, cardiac arrest is caused by an electrical disturbance which is more likely with intense exercise leading to irregular/overly fast heartbeats, but apart from that can be (as far as we know) random.Especially since he just moved. I would assume a medical would really go in depth. If it doesn't it really should.
But maybe some conditions are impossible to detect in advance.

Only just realised what he’s doing with his hands…..
Eriksen, sen, sen, he’s our number 23…..
Adult Sudden Death Syndrome (umbrella term) can be caused by many things. Arrhythmia (irregular heartbeat) being one, others include virus of the sac surrounding the heart or in my Patrick’s case a blood clot to the electrical part of the heart (suspected). It’s very hard to pin down in a lot of cases, even with a post-mortem.
Saoirse is right, it urgently needs research!
Some people have a potato where their brain should be.
Unfortunately there's not really a way to completely prevent or predict this type of thing occuring. Best you can hope for is it doesn't happen to you or anyone you know.
It's pretty horrific to think any one of us can drop dead at ay minute, but that's life. We are bags of meat, living on a floating rock in space.
I am one of those people who is scared of intense exercise, and this type of thing does nothing to allay my fears unfortunately.

Very interesting.
I am opposite, I have put my body through an Ironman etc, I lived it and loved it. Christian loves playing so we must live our lives to the fullest. Great news that Eriksen is stable this morning.
