Plotzlicher heart death: dfb doctor starts register

"It is rather rare," tim meyer, team doctor for the german national team for eleven years, told the news agency dpa. The head of the institute for sports and preventive medicine at the university of the saarland, who also examined philipp lahm& co. Will be attending to the patient again as an internist, but still wants to get to the bottom of the causes scientifically. An online database has been set up in saarbrucken under the auspices of the german society of cardiology (DGK).

"We expect the register to give us a clear picture of the causes of sudden cardiac death in sports in germany," meyer explained.

Coaches, athletes, doctors and spectators can report sudden cardiac deaths in sports via SCD-deutschland (sudden cardiac death). A protected page leads to a questionnaire. The causes should be identified and researched to help improve prevention. "What do we have to look for??The question cannot be answered clearly at present," said meyer, who emphasized: "we are not primarily concerned with competitive athletes."

The district league soccer player is "ultimately just as dangerous" as the bundesliga stars whom meyer also coaches in the national team. The accidental deaths in the light of the world publicity, however, receive a special media attention. The 23-year-old muamba collapsed unconscious on the pitch in a match against tottenham hotspur in march, survived miraculously. According to his club doctor, jonathan tobin, muamba had been "really dead" for 78 minutes.

In 2003, 28-year-old marc-vivien foe from cameroon died of heart failure while playing for his national team in the confed cup. Spain’s sevilla FC international antonio puerta died at 22 three days after suffering cardiac arrest in a match. German professional axel juptner collapsed in 1998 after training with then second-division club carls zeiss jena and died a day later. The cause of the 28-year-old’s death was said to be myocardial infarction.

The "foe case" had been described by professor jiri dvorak, medical director of FIFA, as a "wake-up call. The world association now announced its intention to conduct a survey of cardiac arrest cases. The project is to be launched at a conference in may. "We have asked the team doctors of all national teams to cooperate in the creation of a worldwide database. Based on this, we can then carry out an analysis of the risk factors," dvorak explained in a FIFA statement.

There are also cardiac deaths in other sports. Handball player sebastian faibt died of heart failure at the age of 20 during a match for the german under 21 team. The risk is unevenly distributed between the sexes, with around 90 percent of those affected being male.

Meyer was also directly confronted with the problem for years with the national team. 43-time national team player gerald asamoah, now with second division top club greuther furth, lives and plays with the risk of a thickened heart muscle.

A defibrillator has been present at every professional match in a german stadium since asamoah was born. In general, football is a "leader" in prevention, emphasized meyer. An annual ultrasound examination of the heart is a requirement for every professional of the 1. And 2. Bundesliga in order to obtain the playing rights of the german fubball league (DFL).

It will probably take some time before the register of sports physicians in saarbrucken can produce concrete results for germany. "I can’t imagine that you can do it in less than two or three years. We need a few hundred cases for this," professor meyer estimated. Registers in the USA and italy have produced different results. In america a pathological thickening of the heart muscle was the most frequent cause of death, in italy however a pathological vergroberung of the right ventricle of the heart. There may be "country-specific distribution patterns," said meyer – and in germany, therefore, there may be "a different clinical picture.

At the pensioners’ table in the brewery heller, wulff was not an issue. Politicians and their mistakes – that’s an old song, and it calls for experienced "stammtischler" hardly out of the reserve. This, however, was achieved by a completely different contemporary, kerns thoma from herzogenaurach, because he bothered his colleagues with a very strange achievement and created a special kind of guessing game.

Now that the leap into the new year is made, has also drawn the ratsel. The strange metal fab, which the thoma had drawn at the christmas party of the ASV herzogenaurach (the FT has reported), is identified. A reader of the FT internet site has helped mabgeblich.

The writer with the pseudonym "sauermic" has still in the last minutes of the old year daruber brains and at 23.22 o’clock his tip written into the net. And it goes like this:"… So as it looks..
.. It can actually only be a (garden) torch that is filled with burning paste. The lid is simply put on to loschen."

So a garden torch it was, more precisely a fire basket made of metal. A googled photo clearly identified our unknown loose object (ULO). The thoma can be satisfied now. He wanted to know in the first place only, what he has actually already drawn there.

And do you really need something like that? The thoma says no. If someone has a use for it, he should come forward, he suggested. His colleagues at the pensioners’ table went one step further. "He should auction it", was advised. And openly at the heller. So that the fun with the funny thing may go on.

Their band name "ramsch und rosen" julia lacherstorfer and simon zochbauer "borrowed" from a viennese old goods store. Not only because the two austrian musicians like the piece; it is also symbolic for their music. "In the store there are many things that at first sight seem old and dusty. But when you remove the dust from them, underneath there is something very nice", tells julia lacherstorfer. She and simon zochbauer have a similar approach to music: they interpret old folk songs in their own way. On sunday evening the duo performed in the schuttbau in rugheim.

In new formation

Chairwoman Barbara Goschenhofer of the "culture" association, which provides cultural momentum not only in the hofheim district of rugheim, announced the musicians with the remark that julia lacherstorfer had last year she was already thrilled when she performed with the band "alma" had performed there.

So it was not a surprise that the cultural association also presented them with the duo "ramsch und rosen", which was founded in 2011 invited to the schuttbau. "Folk music of the present – between the past and the present" is the motto of the duo. Julia lacherstorfer plays violin, simon zochbauer trumpet and zither. They also sing, and especially in polyphonic singing their voices harmonize very well. Occasionally, they are accompanied by a tanpura or a shruti-box, two indian instruments that are only set up and then produce a long lasting sound. "She doesn't do much, but she does it well", simon zochbauer describes the tanpura.

Free interpretation possible

The songs that the two play are mostly traditional folk songs. Some of them come from the collection of joseph sonnleithner, who performed there at the beginning of the 19th century. Archived old songs at the beginning of the twentieth century. There were some instrumental pieces to listen to, but also sung lyrics. The band ranged from funny lyrics and dances to sad songs, for example about a woman who is worried about her sweetheart who has gone to war. Some of the songs were written by the composer bela bartok, who was inspired by folk songs for his compositions. "He has been dead for over 70 years now", reported simon zochbauer. "For him it's not so good, for us it's practical." because the copyrights to the artist's life's work have now expired, and it can be freely interpreted. One of the pieces they played was described by simon zochbauer: "it is bitonal". That means: every instrument plays in a different key – and it still somehow works out." his bandmate quickly replied: "and it is intentional!"

In addition, the two had some pieces in the program, which julia lacherstorfer had written herself. Her title "fog refers to the landscape of upper austria covered with many fields and the fog, which the musicians symbolized with very atmospheric sounds. Another song is called "memento mori", often quoted with the request to think of one's own mortality. "When i get caught up in the small things, it should give me a view of the big picture again", she says and calls the piece a "pension song", alluding to their mother who often worries about her future. "Storm before the calm" is a song "about arguing, which is sometimes very important". The title describes that in a quarrel often comes a moment of silence, when everything is said.

Encores and wine

After the official part the musicians were handed two bocksbeutel and said: "for two bottles of wine we play two more songs." from the audience came the call: "get more wine"!" "larabrett", a dialect expression for a board made of larchen wood, is a song about the cycle of life, because both cradles and coffins are often made of this wood.
With rough applause, the audience forced the two to do one more encore. "Normally we do the quiet things at the end so that it's over then. But that did not work for them", Simon Zochbauer.
