Hey it’s Raj from 3CB.
We learned today that Bayern Munich winger Kingsley Coman had a heart procedure that will keep him out 1-2 weeks. In the wake of Christian Eriksen’s near tragic incident at Euros, I’m sure we’re all on edge when we hear anything related to the heart.
However, I spoke to a trusted cardiologist who told me this is very likely a minor procedure called a cardiac or cather ablation to eliminate an abnormal heart rhythm (aka arrhythmia).
The procedure is typically 2-3 hours in length with long, flexible wires called catheters inserted through the neck or groin and into the heart. The catheters emit radiofrequency energy – like a microwave – to destroy the small areas of heart tissue that are causing the irregular heartbeat.
He told me it’s a very low risk procedure with typically very good outcomes as research shows 60-80% of patients don’t need another procedure. The most common risk is actually from the mechanical insertion of the wires themselves which can occasionally damage a blood vessel or cause infection.
The 1-2 week timeline speaks to that low risk and the medical and training staff will be taking him through activity progressions while monitoring for any more arrhythmias. If all goes well, Kingsley won’t be any worse for wear other than the normal fitness dent that comes with not playing in matches.

Really resourceful video doc
amazing video doc keep up the good work
Hello my name is Anas I am 18 years old from Turkey.
I am 6 foot 3 inches tall and weight about 95 kgs with no medical disease history.
So I will start from the beginning I contracted covid in early April this year and tested negative 12 days later now the after effects began and they were hideous at the start fatigue, palpitations, shortness of breath and muscle spasm. 2 months later in July I was still experiencing them so I finally decided to go to a doctor and he wrote some tests for me and I got them done.
Almost all of them came back perfect and my doctor told me I have anxiety but I wasn't convinced I waited 1 more month in July I was still experiencing elevated Heart rate and PVCS so I decided to go to a cardiologist.
He ran some tests like 24hrs Holter and Echocardiogram, Echo came back normal but in Holter they noticed 16 ventricular events and 4 supra ventricular events (Idk what they mean), The report also said Rare ventricular premature beats with an episode of bigeminy were noted. I took it to my cardiologist and he told me it's nothing to worry about.
Now in September I am still having skipped beats and shortness of breath sometimes and I don't know what should I do is it anxiety or something else? I did some research and it said it could be many a things including arrhythmia I don't know what should I do can a doctor guide me? I am really scared at the moment.
I had an ablation procedure done last year. The statistics of success rate shown to me where much higher. It’s higher among young people and it’s extremely unlikely the procedure would go wrong for Coman.
Do you know about Phil jones knee injury? Can’t find much on it
