Action Required because of difficulty breathing due to cardiac arrhythmia benign. The Swiss could return available for the derby

TURIN – Juve loses Lichtsteiner for a month after the operation, which has become indispensable because of breathing difficulties. The Swiss could return available for the Turin derby, scheduled for early November.

NOTE – “Stephan Lichtsteiner during the match Juventus-Frosinone accused breathing difficulties due to benign cardiac arrhythmia (atrial flutter) which resolved spontaneously. The investigations and specialist advice carried out in the following days was directed to a surgical solution of the disease. During today Professor Gaita performed the ablation and time for full recovery racing are estimated at 30 days. “

CARDIOLOGIST – “If our player had previously had a prognosis of Wolff-Parkinson-White with the ablation of accessory pathways can return field even in 30 days, because the operation has a high success rate and improves the long-term recovery, even in asymptomatic patients that could have an electrophysiology basic “. So the cardiologist Francesco Fedele said the news of the Juventus player Stephan Lichtsteiner, subjected to ablation due to breathing difficulties. The physical recovery after interventions of this kind is very dependent on the diagnosis that was made before because “if the arrhythmia is given by atrial fibrillation, you have to see in what form it manifests itself. If we talk about fibrillation isolated there are no major problems but instead if she talks fibrillation supported by pathology then there are cardiomyopathy and the situation is complicated. “ In the case of Stephan Lichtsteiner, the most likely hypothesis is that Whether Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome, a syndrome that can affect people of all ages, including babies. In most cases, the episodes of tachycardia are not dangerous for life, but sometimes there may occur serious heart problems. “The treatment for Wolff-Parkinson-White can stop or prevent episodes of rapid heartbeat. The procedure performed with catheter, – says the cardiologist – better known as ablation, can permanently correct the problems of the heart rhythm. What is always important for everyone, sports and non-cardiologist suggests – is to know what’s under the electrical disturbance to see if there are other types of problems, and especially to identify how best to intervene. “
