G.E.C. 10,944 Posted March 17, 2012 Share Posted March 17, 2012 Is it fair to say his career's over, to the medically minded among us?A Leicester player suffered similar in 2007, later retired. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CottonRunt 941 Posted March 17, 2012 Share Posted March 17, 2012 It depends what has happened to him.If his coronary artery has been blocked causing a heart attack then some of the heart muscle will be dead/damaged. Although it could really be anything that's wrong with him, heart defects/abnormalities, pacemaker issues etc. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

GlenH79 42 Posted March 17, 2012 Share Posted March 17, 2012 It all depends on exactly what went wrong, some situations will mean tw heart is vastly weakened and he will never play again, others could see a good recovery with the potential to play again, there are many variables to consider and it would be hard to state conclusively whether or not he will ever be able to play again, without knowing the cause Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jimbeamjunior 16,163 Posted March 17, 2012 Share Posted March 17, 2012 Will he be able to recover enough to carry on playing I know at the moment it's the last thing on peoples mind but if he survives this what state will he be in I remember doing some first aid course years ago and it said a heart attack stops your lungs from pumping which stops air reaching your brain which leads to brain damage eventually if you survive does that mean he wasn't getting any oxygen at all until his heart was restarted or do oxygen masks and the chest compressions mimic the actions of the heart keeping his brain supplied with oxygen and preventing brain damage? that old Celtic player had a heart attack Evander Snow and he is still playing soI hope that's what happens with Muamba.good luck to him and his familythe cpr that he was given basically mimics the body's breathing and blood pumping but it can't be continued forever. The heart needs to be restarted pretty quickly or else irreversible damage is done Quote Link to post Share on other sites

They are all absolute heroes in my books. To deal with such sadness every single day and deal with it the way they do...I can only look on in awe. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ScottBF2 2,476 Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 Is it fair to say his career's over, to the medically minded among us?If he pulls through and his problem can be identified and there are no long-term side effects then he should be alright to continue playing.I hope that he'll be back playing again one day, it would be the best outcome to this horrific ordeal.

WilliamFyfe 1,438 Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 Was watching the game in the pub, couldn't hear it so didn't have a clue what had happened. Heard he was dead but thankfully that's not the case. Hope the big man pulls threw!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ayrshireger 431 Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 Didn't something happen to Ruben De La Red a few years ago? He had to retire at 25 iirc.Aye, something similar I believe. Real offered De La Red a coaching position in their youth team. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
crombie1873 142 Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 Hope he fully recovers, really put's other matters into perspective... All the best big man. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ayrshireger 431 Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 At the moment all I want is the guy to survive and come through this. Followed his career for a while (due to Arsenal being my "English" team) and seems like a good guy. Affected Aluko as well, played with each other at Birmingham.
