Ugo Ehiogu
Passed away today aged 44,after a suspected heart attack yesterday.
Re: Ugo Ehiogu
RIP
I always liked the guy as a defender, and used to feel that he was under-rated. It is shocking when any young person dies like this, but it is even more baffling when it happens to a former pro sportsperson - does the health deteriorate that much when the person no longer trains to the standards of pro sport ?

Re: Ugo Ehiogu
That's terrible news to hear. He always seemed a nice bloke, very calm and kind in interviews and was a better player than he was given credit for. What's sad to think is that he'd have probably had a good mentality for management and would have had years left in the game.

Re: Ugo Ehiogu
It could do. It could also be any of a number of factors.. a congenital heart condition missed by all the medicals he'd have had over the years, wear and tear on the muscles around the heart, poor diet or weight gain - sometimes players (looking at you Merson) put on weight quickly after retiring... but if Ehiogu was coaching you'd have to think he was still staying in shape to some degree.augie wrote:RIP

Sad either way. RIP.

I always thought he seemed like a decent bloke. It's very sad and a real shock, because he still looked in good shape and there would have been medics and defibrillators nearby.
Makes me think my cardiologist was right when he said I was lucky.

Re: Ugo Ehiogu
I had to do advanced first responder training (what we used to call first aid training back in the days before every fucker had to have an action movie job title ) for work and I'll always remember the surprise everyone on the course expressed when the paramedic training us stated that on average the survival rate from CPR was only about 8%. Even with immediate defrib the survival rate is less than 40%.GranadaJoe wrote:I always thought he seemed like a decent bloke.

Contrary to popular movie myth, you can't restart a heart with CPR. All you are doing with CPR alone is trying to restore partial flow of oxygenated blood to the brain and heart in an attempt to delay tissue death, hopefully long enough for successful defrib and prevent permanent brain damage.
You were indeed very lucky, mate.
