Christian Eriksen will soon have a heart starter (ICD) installed due to his recent cardiac attack. The device corrects the rhythm of the heartbeat if it notices a potentially dangerous pattern by sending electric shocks. It can serve as a defibrillator in extreme cases.

Christian Eriksen in Good Spirits After Scare, Causes Still Unknown

Christian Eriksen spent Monday doing a series of tests and answering the people that reached out to him.
