Sad for the individual of course, but I couldn't see any reference to what type of heart condition he has and whether it relates to Atrial Fibrillation or other arrythmias?

It is very sad to hear that a professional footballer has had to make such a life changing decision at such a young age. We believe the hereditary condition has not been named on this occasion, probably to protect his family's privacy. Further information is available via brightonandhovealbion.com/n...

This story highlights the importance of checking your pulse regularly, as an irregular pulse could be the early warning signs of an arrhythmia.
