    But this year has been special
    don't you think?
    5-fold increase in sudden cardiac deaths of FIFA players in 2021


    Not 24 athletes, not 30, nor 75 - Since December, 183 professional athletes and coaches have suddenly collapsed! 108 of them died! According to the literature, the phenomenon of collapsing athlete breakdown for reasons unrelated to injury is rare.
    So what is causing this sudden epidemic?

    • In most cases, it has been reported that the cause of the collapse is heart-related, including myocarditis, pericarditis, heart attacks, or cardiac arrest.
    • The second cause reported is clotting events.
    We emphasize that the list we have is even longer, but for the sake of caution, dozens of cases were removed, from it in which we did not have full details, so that only the cases that were reported in detail were included.
    In addition, cases were removed in which evidence of previous risk factors was mentioned, such as a cardiac disease or diabetes.
