Thread on #ChristianEriksen Based on the tv coverage it is likely that Eriksen went into Ventricular Tachycardia/Fibrillation. This is a fast, irregular and highly unorganized electrical rhythm of the heart that precedes a cardiac arrest.
Fortunately his team and the ref quickly alerted the medical staff and ACLS protocols were initiated. On tv we saw CPR and an AED being used, the latter of which was used to “shock” his heart back into a normal rhythm.
It highlights the importance of having AEDs available and accessible in public areas and where athletic competition takes place, they are life saving.
