In patients with known heart problems, the device is able to recognize an irregular or stopped heartbeat, and can deliver an electric shock to restart the heart, just like an external defibrillator would do. Some newer versions of the device also have the ability to double as a pacemaker, allowing it to not only shock a stopped heart, but allow it to deliver more restrained electric currents to regulate a slowed or irregular heartbeat.
Other professional footballers have received this device in the past. Fabrice Muamba, whose heart stopped for 78 minutes while playing for Bolton, was fitted with this device after making a miraculous recovery, although he never played professionally again.

Former Manchester United defender and current Ajax captain Daley Blind has also been fitted with an ICD after an episode experienced in a 2019 Champions League match. He returned to senior-level play since the incident and this season, Blind has played in every Ajax match across Eredivisie and Champions League play, logging nearly 1,700 minutes already.

Differing opinions exist across Europe and the world about the dangers of continuing athletic activity while wearing an ICD.
Dr. Jason Bradley, non-invasive cardiologist with sports cardiology specialization at Lankenau Medical Center in Pennsylvania, says acceptance of the device is growing but it is still sporadic across the athletic community.
“It used to be that cardiologists would tell people blanket ‘no’ [to athletic activity] to take everyone off the hook [for liabilty reasons],” Dr. Bradley told Sporting News. “Now, we’re kind of rethinking that. But there’s still a balancing act between realistic chances of an event and the liability the doctors and medical professionals are willing to accept.”
Italy is recognized as a leader in sports cardiology, according to Dr. Bradley, and Inter Milan cited the Italian medical community in a statement in August addressing Eriksen’s future with the club and pointing to a probable move abroad.
“The player has been temporarily inhibited by the Italian medical authority from sporting activity in the current season,” the statement read. “Although the current conditions of the player don’t meet the requirements of achieving sporting fitness in Italy, the same could instead be achieved in other countries where the player could resume competitive activity.”
