Former world cycling champion, Mario Cipollini, 58 years oldhospitalized at Ancona Hospital due to heart problems. He announced it himself on Instagram. “Unfortunately I had some problems, my heart – he explained – was constantly agitated. Last year I had an operation where they inserted a loop. Here I had a small recorder that, through the cell phone and an app here in Ancona, they monitored the whole situation of my heart and my frequency. This recorder said that unfortunately something was not working well in this period, so they precisely called me to order and said: ‘Mario, unfortunately we have to do it again study’. Doing research means they go in through the groin and try to re-stimulate certain situations with probes to realize if something dangerous is triggered, and they should try to intervene in some way to solve the problem.”
Cipollini: “I’m calm”
“In my case – he continued – we are also talking hypothetically about a subcutaneous defibrillator but I really hope that is not my case. I am in the hands of highly trained people, people I trust a lot and I believe that the center here in Ancona is capable of doing its job”, he added, assuring: “I am calm and serene”.
