What is cardiac arrhythmia?

Norberto Debbag, an Argentine cardiologist, gives a public explanation of what a heart arrhythmia can do for an athlete.

"Arrhythmias can be studied in 24 hours, the diagnosis is there," Debbag explained to Ole.

"The most complicated are ventricular because there is damage to the structure of the heart, whereas atrial arrhythmias are more benign, which can be resolved with medication.

"We don't have details on Aguero but it won't take long to find out, when he will play again will depend on the timing of the arrhythmia detected."
