It would depend what his diagnosis was of his original problem. A shock from an ICD is an unpleasant experience, but, it does tend to do the job it’s there for. The severity of the shock can vary from being like a kick from a horse( it is painless though) to really not noticing. I have actually...

I’ve read the article. It says that his ICD has fired giving his heart an electric shock to restore it to normal rhythm. This isn’t unusual in cases of heart arrhythmias, it’s not a heart attack, but, if not shocked back into rhythm will lead to a cardiac arrest. I’ve had over 60 shocks...

I have some experience with implantable cardioverter defribulators (ICD) having had one for 14 years now. The point of my post was that the research into genetic heart conditions is coming along at an extraordinary pace, my own condition was diagnosed 14 years ago, and, at the time there was no...

I may be slaughtered for saying this but, I was told in November by someone quite closely involved with a senior player that Enoch retirement from playing may not be as permanent as first thought. The time scale of a season out, was mentioned, then, due to medical advances/ further...

Very unusual for it not to work. My problem is usually found in the top chambers of the heart,it’s very rarely found in all 4 chambers. I am apparently 1 in a billion, literally as I have it in all 4. Only 5 other survivors of that in the World, and I am possibly the only one in Europe.

Mine was an ablation as well. I’ve had 2, as the first one didn’t work, in fact I got more shocks after it than before. The first one was the first time that operation had been performed on anyone in the UK for my particular problem. The Surgeon was flown in from the States to do it. The second...

Yes, you do feel it, it can be like being kicked in the back, or you can sleep through it, as I have done a couple of times. Luckily, I have only gone into arrhythmia when I’m asleep ( apart from once, in hospital, they got the drugs wrong) so, the first thing I feel is waking up with a massive...

I am sorry if I have offended you. I have suffered over 60 of these heart related arrhythmias, so, I understand how bad it can be. I have also had my heart stop for a short period. I do find a little bit of humour does relieve the understandable stress of the situation.

I have had an implanted defribulator in my chest since my first cardiac arrest. It has shocked my heart back into normal rhythm over 60 times. Without it I would undoubtedly be dead. My close relatives have the same syndrome but a lesser version of it, they are checked on a regular basis for...

Why?

I have a congenital heart condition, the first anybody in my extended family knew of it was when I had a near fatal cardiac arrest in my sleep. Since then, investigations have found a number of family members suffer from the same problem and, 2 of my uncle’s probably have died from it.

Thank goodness this cardiac problem was found before it did any serious damage. I hope he can be fixed and can lead a long and normal life. I wonder if they tried turning off ‘The Computer’ and turning him on again.

The Zambians call his through pass the Ninkumona. Enock Mwepu just did his famous "NINKUMONA" pass in the premier league. �� Mwepu is known by his Zambian fans for a pass called NINKUMONA which means 'I have seen you'...They say he doesn't need to look at you to accurately pass...

And we’re not trying to buy them.
