Thoughts on #Eriksen the morning after...Really good news to hear reports coming out that he is doing well. A tragedy was averted due to early recognition and intervention, two things that are key. With the heart and the brain, every second counts. #ENGCRO #EURO2020
This summer do take the time to learn proper CPR techniques, learn what number to call for help (9-1-1) here in the US, and recognize the signs and symptoms of a heart attack or stroke.
Additionally, know yourself. Recognize your risk factors for heart disease, assess your family history and recognize your eating habits. Reduce your risk by knowing your numbers. What is your target weight, your blood pressure, are you diabetic, is your cholesterol under control
@CardioSmart has fantastic resources to help patients know their numbers and teach you to take your blood pressure properly at home
At the end of the day, prevention is far better. We have many tools to treat heart disease, we would much rather prevent it. The heart is a beautiful organ, let’s take care of it.

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.
