da brdice： The entire Tottenham squad have requested heart checks following Fabrice Muamba’s sudden collapse in their fixture against Bolton on Saturday.
The Trotters midfielder is critically ill in hospital after suffering a cardiac arrest at White Hart Lane, with the fixture cancelled as a result.
The Spurs players are taking no chances on their own individual health matters, and have requested to see a cardiologist.
“The players have all demanded cardiac screening today,” sports cardiologist Sanjay Sharma told Sky Sports.
“That involves taking a history relating to cardiac symptoms, which include chest pain during exertion or breath which is disproportionate to the amount of exercise being performed and blackouts, (and) asking about a family history because many of these conditions that can cause cardiac arrest are hereditary.
“We then perform a cardiac examination and following that we do an ECG (electrocardiogram) which is an electrical tracing of the heart which looks for electric faults of the heart and a cardiac ultrasound which looks at heart muscle problems or problems with the heart valves,” she concluded.
Meanwhile, it has been confirmed that Tottenham’s game against Stoke on Wednesday will be played as planned.
