Former Nottingham Forest and England football player, Trevor Francis, died at his home in Spain of a heart attack aged just 69. To read the article visit: heartrhythmalliance.org/aa/...

In March 2012, former Bolton Wanderers footballer, Fabrice Muamba, collapsed on the pitch, and was lucky to receive CPR and defibrillation which resulted in saving his life. Arrhythmia Alliance highlighted his story and launched our Hearts and Goals Campaign: heartrhythmalliance.org/aa/...
