Our studio just showed a clip of today's press conference and he confirmed that it was cardiac arrest and that he was "gone" for a bit.
We came very close to losing him.

Scary AF.
Ps: our studio?
The Swedish studio.
Ahhhh. I thought you meant you worked in a studio.
If I followed my degree I probably would be running social media stuff. But those kind of jobs don't grow on trees.
He always had a dry sense of humour
Seems like if you're unfortunate enough to have a cardiac arrest, a football ground is the best place to get rapid treatment.

Reading the transcript back now he may not have come across as cocky as my version suggests
The words from the head coach, Kasper Hjulmand, at the presser:
I wrote with him during the night, which I know, others did as well. We spoke with him this morning where everyone got to see his smile on the screen
He said (Eriksen red.): "How are you? I’m afraid you guys are feeling worse than me. I feel like I’m on the way to training right now". It’s typical Christian to think about others before himself
He was worried about us and obviously his family. He said he didn’t remember much, but were worried about us and how we were holding out
He wants us to play. Christian is a footballer, and he said, he felt like he could go out and play. Christian feels most comfortable when his feet is close to a football. It was nice to see his smile and we’ll do our best to pick ourselves up and play for him
My best translating effort, hopefully closer to the truth
Obviously there’ll be some kind of trauma for Eriksen but he’s probably better of not remembering anything compared to anyone witnessing the incident. I was a mess but can’t imagine how the children watching are doing at this stage
Summer/Hot Tournaments should have heat breaks and no extra time except the final.
With one yesterday, Eriksen would have had 2mins for his biochemistry to settle, take in water/electrolytes, maybe say to a medic he's feeling shit...
This is one reason players try for max salaries. Their career can get cut way short.
As far as I know, a cardiac arrest is nigh on impossible to predict or prevent and is only really linked to obesity and age and fitness levels so not sure heat had anything to do with it.
It doesn't matter, the break, is quite probable in my view, of allowing his body to settle enough for this to perhaps be a grade or two lower and maybe manifest in him becoming very dizzy...
But, it's about the pause in heat, to allow these guys bodies to recover, the game is so fast now, summer is an extra calendar point which erodes hugely the traditional rest and recovery summer for most teams (since the advent of teams packed with internationals).
Think games would be better, but that is of low significance to my mind.
The fuck are you talking about.
You think this isn't Nitric Oxide based in probability? Players take on both in breaks.
The longer out the worse on the brain (if you were on about the grade comment).
Edit : This is where my line of thinking comes from this type of mental poking...
The frequency of OH return of spontaneous circulation and the value of pH, PO(2), base excess, and carboxyhemoglobin in the survival group were greater than those values in the non-survival group.

I agree with most but it wasn't due to the heat.

Heard you the first time
If you see the paper I posted above, since you posted, it may give you a glimpse that the terrain is very much at matter.So, perhaps you can't predict it at all, but you can set the environment for elite athletes that minimise the likelihood.
Both players Eriksen and Muamba were at the end of the half...

Electrolyte imbalances such as low potassium or calcium/magnesium can cause electrical issues with the heart and ultimately cardiac arrest - this can theoretically be caused by dehydration.
I didn't even want to go there, as I've studied this for decades and it's still beyond me!!!
Had pondered if Eriksen, before a big game, had a traditional nordic dish he loves (nurtured playing in cold weather, where sodium rich foods dominate to keep cellular hydration/osmotic pressure focused on maintaining heat - as nature provides us foods richer in Sodium in Winter, Potassium Summer (or hot cold conditions if more extreme weather based). So, he is way higher in sodium the morning of the game, bit dehydrated and thinks it's just nerves... He's doesn't get enough potassium to balance his cellular pressure to cool, so he fries on the pitch...
It more than crossed my mind... but it's just a thought.
