Soccer Player Anthony Van Loo has a heart attack on the field.

Soccer player Anthony Van Loo was diagnosed years ago with a heart condition, but was again allowed to play after the implantation of a defibrillator. This was done a few years back. Last weekend, playing with his team Roeselare in Belgian First Division, he had an actual heart attack during the game. After a few seconds the defibrillator diagnosed the arrhythmia (his heart is supposed to have reached 300 bpm for a few seconds) and autonomously administered a corrective jolt, as can be seen at the 0:15 mark. He was allowed to leave hospital the next day and no additional damage (but the existing condition) is expected to be found as there is almost no delay between the attack and the treatment. The miracles of science....

Amazing stuff, but it's not a heart attack -- a heart attack refers to an obstruction to coronary blood supply, which is not what he had.

@1111350 It was not a heart attack but sudden cardiac arrest. His heart stopped or he would not have been shocked by the defibrillator IN HIS CHEST. And they don't put those in for FAINTING.

Right at this moment in time, I gotta say... He looks a little like Remi Gaillard. But then again I'm tired and I've been staring at a screen all day trying to save my computer from a trojan... I could be going blind... :(
