More than 1.7 million cardiac implantable electronic devices are implanted worldwide each year. Young implant wearers in particular have many questions about whether and how their life will change after the procedure. One of the most important ones: whether and to what extent they can practice sports again. Media coverage of the Danish professional soccer player Christian Eriksen, who had an ICD (implantable cardioverter-defibrillator) implanted after collapsing during an international match, has further increased interest in the interaction between cardiovascular diseases and sport.

This was also the case for the North Rhine-Westphalian deacon Rainer Beerhenke. After successful stent placement and a bypass surgery in 2021, the 58-year-old is again living life to the full and is one of the first patients to take part in the EU-funded TIMELY project, which aims to improve the range of therapies for CAD patients.
