(ANSA) – ROME, APRIL 02 – Sonny Colbrelli returns home today after being discharged from the cardiology clinic of the University of Padua, where he was hospitalized since last Saturday.
The runner underwent a cardiovascular clinical evaluation coordinated by prof. Domenico Corrado, director of the Genetic Cardiomyopathy and Sports Cardiology Unit of the Hospital-University of Padua, the Italian center of excellence for the diagnosis and treatment of arrhythmogenic heart disease. This was announced by Bahrain-Victorium, the team to which Colbrelli belongs.

Based on the results of the clinical evaluation, in agreement with the team’s medical staff, Colbrelli last Thursday underwent a successful surgery for the subcutaneous defibrillator (ICD) implant. The professor. Corrado stated that “in Padua, the athlete underwent a complete clinical, genetic and imaging evaluation to identify the cause of the arrhythmia that led to cardiac arrest and the most appropriate therapy. The decision to implant a device life-saving was shared by Colbrelli who received a subcutaneous ICD. The device works to correct the rhythm of the heart if it is needed in extreme cases. ” Colbrelli, let the team know about him, will continue the rehabilitation at home to ensure privacy and peace for him and his family.
