Danish soccer star Christian Eriksen collapsed on the field for the second time in five years on June 7, 2026 and this time, the outcome looked very different from his 2021 SCA. Heart Rhythm Society (@HRSonline) President @SanaAlkhatib9, breaks down what likely made the difference, what an ICD is and how it differs from a pacemaker, and why SCA is not the same as a heart attack. 🫀💙 📰 Read HRS' full statement: hrsonline.org/news/statement… #UpBeatbyHRS #PatientEducation #SuddenCardiacArrest #SCA #HeartRhythm #HeartHealth
