RTÉ sports broadcaster Michael Lyster almost died when he had a massive heart attack but was saved by the quick actions of his wife Anne and journalist friend Vincent Hogan.

 Michael had a pacemaker fitted within days and was back presenting The Sunday Game within weeks.

      We asked our team of presenters who would like to conduct the interview with the Irish Heart Foundation and Michael was first with his hand up ! 

Michael caught up with Dr Angie Brown Irish Heart Foundation Medical Director and consultant cardiologist to share her knowledge ...    

      Every hour someone in Ireland suffers from a stroke. Every day, hundreds of Irish people are diagnosed with heart disease. 

The lives of these people are often cut tragically short. Many are left disabled. Almost 9,000 people die each year, making heart disease and stroke one of the nation’s biggest killers.

It shouldn’t be this way and this fact forms our reason for being. We are the nation’s heart and stroke charity. Since 1966, we’ve been here, working to save lives and heal hearts.

The mission is to eliminate preventable death and disability from heart disease and stroke and to support and care for those living with these life-changing conditions.

Michael Lyster on Heart Health

William Butler Yeats was born in Dublin in 1865. His father was a lawyer and a well-known portrait painter. Yeats was educated in London and in Dublin, but 
 spent his summers in the west of Ireland in the family’s summer house in County Sligo. 

The young Yeats was active in societies that attempted an Irish literary revival. His early poetry was influenced by John Keats, William Wordsworth, William Blake and many more. His earliest volume of verse was published in 1889.

Together with Lady Gregory he founded the Irish Theatre, which was to become the Abbey Theatre, and served as its chief playwright until the movement was joined by John Sing. His plays usually treat Irish legends; they also reflect his fascination with mysticism and spiritualism.

After 1910, Yeats’s dramatic art took a sharp turn toward a highly poetical, static, and esoteric style. Although a convinced patriot, Yeats deplored the hatred and the bigotry of the Nationalist movement, and his poetry is full of moving protests against it. He was appointed to the Irish Senate in 1922. 

His poetry, especially the volumes The Wild Swans at Coole (1919), Michael Robartes and the Dancer (1921), The Tower (1928), The Winding Stair and Other Poems (1933), and Last Poems and Plays (1940), made him one of the outstanding and most influential twentieth-century poets writing in English. His recurrent themes are the contrast of art and life, masks, cyclical theories of life (the symbol of the winding stairs), and the ideal of beauty and ceremony contrasting with the hubbub of modern life.

I am delighted to talk with Dr Enda King on his recent paper published this year in the American Journal of Sport Medicine "Factors Influencing Return to Play and Second Anterior Cruciate Ligament Injury Rates in Level 1 Athletes After Primary Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction: 2-Year Follow-up on 1432 Reconstructions at a Single Center."

This podcast links to my weekly research review and a full review and link to the paper are in that via the link at the bottom of the page notes.

Enda  is a chartered physiotherapist and former Gaelic footballer, who is Head of Performance at the Sports Surgery clinic and has just completed his PhD in the Biomechanics of ACL Rehabilitation with Dr Siobhan Strike at University of Roehampton, London and is in current great demand for the rehabilitation of elite athletes around the world using 3D biomechanics as a tool to guide that process.

We discuss the paper, including challenges behind the data set, where this might go, the differences in outcome in Return to play and why that might be and the differences in re-injury rate between bone patellar bone and Hamstring grafts.

You can follow  Enda on twitter  @Enda_King and our clinic @sscsportsmed @sscsantry
