Hope he's OK.

Not a great look.

Had something similar happen to me last year. Felt dizzy and just collapsed. Ended up being low heart rate. So hopefully he'll be fine

Dal on Foxtel stated irrelugar heart beat.

I’ve had that - but never collapsed.

IF he needs what I had done, and that is get his heart restarted by a defibrillator, it will involve taking blood thinning drugs for a few weeks to start with. You take them in case there are any clots in your heart- so they dissolve. You also may take beta blockers that regulate your heartbeat so it doesn’t go too fast. Once you’ve done that it’s into hospital. A general and wham! you get jump started whilst asleep. They get you back into a normal regular pulse/heart beat and wake you up. Only takes about 15 minutes. Out of hospital within half a day.

I’ve been lucky and had no relapses and regular pulse for almost 2 years now and not on any meds, but often that’s not the case. Some people have several restarts a few times a year. The next option is ablation- where they somehow alter the electrical signals in your heart through surgery. Another option is a pacemaker.

Complex stuff and makes you appreciate the great work a cardiologist does!

I hope you and Roberton are both okay.

My highlight of the match. Watching several of his team mates getting around him and showing genuine care for a fellow Sainter. That is all you can ask for as a supporter and it does show they care about each other.

Hope he is all good. Poor guy has a wife and three young kids which would have been terrifying for all of them to see.

Geez not too good. It only takes about 10 minutes to do an ECG, not much longer to do an echocardiogram (heart ulstrasound to check blood flow). I’m guessing standard blood tests and maybe an MRI scan perhaps?

Any medicos on here??

Though mid fifties and very fit as I run, swim and do MMA training, I had an electrical issue with the heart a couple of years ago that floored me.
I passed out on the coach, struggled with breath and my wife called an ambulance who then called a MICA unit.

I was diagnosed and had pulmonary ablation surgery which was completed while awake that took around 4 hours.
The cardiologist stated this would have required open heart surgery and a pacemaker 10-15 years ago.

I recovered within a couple of weeks of surgery and have not looked back since, no medication.
A good interventionist and treatment and I am sure Dylan will be fine with the modern diagnostic and treatments now available.

Best wishes to him and his family.

Thanks :lol:

I didn't realise how brilliant and skilled these guys are until I required their expertise.
With no knowledge of Dylan's issues, I draw on my own experience and small exposure to the marvels of modern cardiac medicine and feel confident he'll be back sooner rather than later.

I think he will be missing for a while. His personal health comes before playing for the Saints.

St Kilda defender Dylan Roberton is hopeful of missing just one week as he continues to undergo testing for an irregular heartbeat that prompted his on-field collapse against Geelong.

Roberton sparked concern among his teammates and the wider football community when he fell to the ground in the second term of the loss to the Cats. The father of three later reported dizziness and having a blackout.

The 26-year-old was sent to Epworth Hospital while the game was still in progress and was released on Monday. He hopes to miss only the clash with Greater Western Sydney this Saturday at Etihad Stadium.

"This week I'm ruled out, just as a precaution. I'll do all the testing and then hopefully, back on the track next week," Roberton told reporters outside Epworth Hospital on Monday.

Despite the worrying scenes, Roberton wasn't overly concerned.

"It was a bit of a scare, probably more so for family and friends. I was fine straight away," Roberton said.

Tom Morris from AFL media reported on On The Couch last night it could b

This:

http://www.heart.org/HEARTORG/Condition ... ainContent

Which is a form of tachycardia (fast or irregular heart beat).

What will be interesting is the treatment (possibly meds), and the risk factor continuing to play given
the hard running and more so the stop-start nature of the game.

Duty of care would suggest several weeks on the sidelines to work through these issues/options available.
