Napoli midfielder Scott McTominay has already undergone heart surgery due to a benign arrhythmia. The Scottish player went through the surgical procedure and is currently in the recovery process.
Jakub Piotrowski, a 27-year-old midfielder who plays for Polónia, a Serie A club, is also preparing to correct the same cardiac problem. The player is about to undergo the surgical intervention to resolve the benign arrhythmia.
Benign arrhythmia is a cardiac condition that affects the normal rhythm of heartbeats, but when properly treated, it allows athletes to return to their professional activity without major restrictions.
Both cases highlight how this cardiac condition is more common in the world of sports than one might think, affecting professional players who need to be in peak physical condition.
