Cardiologist Roberto Peidró, who has been treating Sergio ‘Kun’ Agüero since 2004, affirmed that the evil that afflicts the Argentine striker and that led him to announce his retirement from professional football on Wednesday was not caused by the covid or by vaccines against the coronavirus.
“The covid had nothing to do with it, the covid vaccine had nothing to do with it either. Absolutely nothing to do, “said Peidró in statements to radio Millenium after the announcement of the Barcelona player who stops” playing professional football “due to heart problems.
Agüero had tested positive for the coronavirus so he lost 10 games with Manchester City between January and February 2021.
The doctor explained that after Agüero, 33, felt bad on the field on October 30, studies were carried out and it was detected that “he has a very small scar in a small area of the heart, less than a millimeter, by which it makes a short circuit and long those arrhythmias, “he explained.
“What was done with a catheterization is to burn that area where the arrhythmias came from, we think that this is going to work very well and it will solve the problem but the scar will continue to have it,” said the cardiologist, who said he spoke with the authorization of the footballer.
“Our advice is that you shouldn’t do a high-performance sport that involves such significant physical and mental stress for several hours a day. He can play sports, he will lead a normal life for any normal person, but footballers live another life, “he warned.
He affirmed that medical recommendation “because the ‘Kun’ had an arrhythmia that is not the most benign. After much discussion among the doctors, we told him that it would be best not to risk it. With an extraordinary career, less world champion (with the Argentine team) he got to everything, why risk? ”, Launched the professional.
He said he began treating Agüero in 2004, when the forward played for Independiente de Argentina and suffered palpitations. At that time, “we burned that arrhythmia. But that has absolutely nothing to do with it. That arrhythmia is perfect, I wish it had been that because it was more benign ”. (I)
