Intriguing reason young, 'fit' footballers keep collapsing on the pitch...after Fiorentina's Edoardo Bove's harrowing black out
Daily MailFiorentina's Edoardo Bove has become the latest in a string of young and supposedly fit and healthy footballers to dramatically collapse on pitch. Renowned experts in cardiac health issues in young athletes have told MailOnline there has been no rise in deaths or in fact cases overall, in recent years. Uruguayan footballer Juan Izquierdo, 27, collapsed in August of this year tragically dying later in hospital Dr Raghav Bhatia, research fellow at the globally respected cardiovascular clinical academic group at St George’s University of London — one of the world's most renowned sites in this specialist branch of cardiology — previously told this website there's 'no evidence' that supports such claims. His collapse was later pinned on an undetected ventricular fibrillation, another condition that leads to heart rhythm disruption Academics credited the drop to more effective screening systems for heart conditions in young athletes over time, as well as broader access to emergency treatment like on-site defibrillator kits.
