Tamim Iqbal rushed to hospital after experiencing chest pain during Dhaka Premier League match​

Tamim was fielding in the first innings of the game between Mohammedan and Shinepukur when he experienced discomfort

Tamim Iqbal, the former Bangladesh captain, has been rushed to a nearby hospital with chest pain midway through a Dhaka Premier Division Cricket League match between Mohammedan Sporting Club and Shinepukur Cricket Club.

Initially, a helicopter was arranged for Tamim's movement to the hospital, but he could not be flown from the BKSP ground in Savar. He was later taken to the Fazilatunnesa Hospital, match referee Debabrata Paul told ESPNcricinfo. The incident occurred in the first innings of the 50-overs-a-side contest.

Tamim Iqbal Critically Ill; Rushed To Hospital, Put On Life Support Due To Heart-Attack
​

Tamim Iqbal was rushed to hospital after experiencing chest pain during the Dhaka Premier League match. Tamim experienced chest pain during the Dhaka Premier Division Cricket League game between Mohammedan Sporting Club and Shinepukur Cricket Club. A helicopter was arranged for Tamim's quick movement to the hospital but it could not be flown. Tamim was taken to Fazilatunnesa Hospital.

According to Bangladesh local Jamuna TV, Tamim is in critical condition and has been put on life support. Efforts are underway to get Tamim to Dhaka, but doctors believe it will be tough to get him to Dhaka given his critical condition.

Later, Dr Debashish Chowdhury, chief physician of the Bangladesh Cricket Board, confirmed that Tamim suffered a massive heart attack.

“He underwent initial checks at a local hospital, where mild heart issues were suspected. Efforts were made to transport him to Dhaka, but on the way to the helipad, he experienced severe chest pain and had to be rushed back. Medical reports later confirmed it was a massive heart attack,” said Dr Debashish Chowdhury, chief physician of the Bangladesh Cricket Board.

Tamim Iqbal announced his retirement from international cricket earlier this year. He initially announced retirement in July 2023 but overturned his decision after intervention from the then PM Sheikh Hasina. Tamim was asked to return to the Bangladesh team for the ICC Champions Trophy, however, he refused the request. He posted a long note on Facebook to confirm his retirement.

"I have been away from international cricket for a long time," he wrote on Facebook. "That distance will remain. My chapter in international cricket is over. I have been thinking about this for a long time. Now that a big event like the Champions Trophy is coming up, I do not want to be the focus of anyone's attention, which could lead to the team losing their focus. Of course, I did not want this to happen before, too.

"Captain Najmul Hossain Shanto sincerely asked me to return to the team. There were discussions with the selection committee too. I am grateful to them for still considering me in the team. However, I have listened to my own heart."

Tamim Iqbal played 70 Tests, 243 ODIs, and 78 T20Is for Bangladesh, scoring 5134, 8357, and 1778 runs respectively.​

Shocking how pro athletes and fit persons can also get heart attacks.

Did he have any particular heart condition or was it out of nowhere? Does anyone know?

Hope he recovers soon.

I'm an 80's kid and I barely heard of anyone we knew suffer heart attacks in their 30's in our childhood. Back then, heart attacks were for the elderly people. Things have completely changed. I can't even count the number of people in the last 20 years who have suffered heart attacks in their 30's and 40's.​
 
Saw it on fb, i thought it was fake.

Hope he recovers and regains full health. He is a bangladeshi legend.
 
For everyone.

The word life supports is generally a misnomer and could mean a lot of things for a lot of people dependning on how much medical knowledge a layman has.

Is he on ECMO or is he simply being considered critially ill and life supports because of intubation and low GCS because of downtime.

After a STEMI, the most important thing to determine your outcomes is not life support but your cardiac reserve and the amount of downtime for OHCA (out of hospital cardiac arrest).

I have seen people with 15 to 20 minutes of downtime with good CPR performed achieve ROSC and have good outcomes simply because high quality CPR which kept the circulation going.

Not sure how the healthcare system is in Bangladesh, but if he had chest pain and had a STEMI with OHCA and his door to balloon time was more than 90 minutes, then outcome would be poor anyways.

Nevertheless, my point being on life support is sometimes simply being intubated and using TTM (Targeted Temperature Management) to help achieve ROSC and that could still be critically ill but still better outcomes.

However, if ECMO is being used then it becomes more complicated because at that point unless cardiac reserve is available the chances you making it out are slim.

Also based on ejection fraction post MI (probably critically low after massive heart attack) would require the insertion of ICD at some point pre-discharge.

Sigh of relief

Good job medical staff.

Wishing Tamim bhai a speedy recovery. Time to completely retire and spend time with family. Hope he’s earned decent money and investments to take care of stuff. Was their top batter for a decade and a half.

Also one of their most likeable guys.
Who’s with me that Tamim was levels above Shakib and Lil Mushy as a gentleman?

Because we didn't have social media to get news from around the world so knew mostly local news. There has been no significant increase in heart attack and strokes amongst the young (there has been some increase mostly attributed to pollution etc but smoking has reduced a lot among the uping so it balances out).

He isn't on ecmo.

He has undergone a PTCA. That should settle down the primary issue.

But chances of arrythymia remain. Also how his EF recovers is a long term follow up process. I have seen patients with TVD with IWMI after hours. Undergoing successful CABG or PTCA and over years their EF reached more than 60 per cent.

Two days back i saw a patient who had a MI in 2023. RCA was 99 per cent block and was dominant. He presented to our hospital 10 days post chest pain. EF was 30-35 percent.

Underwent PTCA and now his EF has reached 60 per cent. Even his treating doctor was surprised. He had expected at best a recovery of EF to be in early 50 range.

I hope Tamim being a sportsman had good collaterals, so myocardial damage may be less.

Thanks for your updates @Dr_Bassim @cricketjoshila
 
Just seen this. Sad to hear this. May God bring him back to good health. Here’s praying for speedy recovery.


BCB needs to answer a lot of question. Pathetic inhumane board every season it plays DPL in Ramzan month while the players are fasting.

I know many people who got it in their 40s in the 1990s. And in UAE where I grew up it was not uncommon in the Keralite community.
 
So he is still in KPJ hospital, Savar town and hasn’t been shifted to Dhaka yet to a private one. Luckily they had a decent hospital nearby where the match is being held.

PCI also depends on the territory really being involved.

The right coronary supplies most of the sinus node and inferior walls of the heart.

In most people the dominant artery is the left anterior descending artery (LAD). LAD STEMIs usually cause more damage than RCA territory simply because they involve greater blood supply to heart.

Which is why most complications also happen from LAD STEMIs like Papillary muscle rupture or left ventricular anuerysm post MI.

Heart failure due to LAD dysfunction is usually harder to recover but with newer medications HFrEF (less than 55 percent) can be treated and person can sometimes even go back to normal heart function.

What is critical though is that if EF remains below 30 percent despite optimization of medical therapy, there is a high likelihood of being offered ICD implant for primary prevention of VF arrest.

Beta blockers used to be used in the past as anti arrhythmic and also for HFrEF but their use is very controversial now and I find lots of time in young patients they are not started because of increased risk of sexual side effects and depression.

Cardiac rehab is most important most MI and I always suggest a Psych evaluation because MI is a major cause of post op acute stress event depression.

Hopefully he got stented with minimal damage and can now be on path to recovery.

STEMIs usually stay 72 hours post stenting to monitor for arrhythmias plus post contrast AKI.

Absolutely correct that LAD territory STEMIs cause more damage and more mortality as well.

His EF will need constant monitoring over next few weeks to months to see what kind of improvement is happening.

What i want to know is when he was initially taken to a hospital they found cardiac issues on tests(ECG?Troponin?Echo?) If it was a ongoing MI why did they try to shift him to Dhaka? Did they thrombolyse?Else is it advisable to move a patient with ongoing MI when PCI facilities were available.

If his EF remains below 35 then at his age ICD insertion makes sense. Ofcourse at 36 beta blockers will hamper his conjugal life. But in the subcontinent it remains the main stay for arrythymia treatment.

Will have to see if he needs further stenting in future.

If this was Sheikh Hasinas time Tamim would probably had come to one of Kolkata hospitals for further treatment.
 
I’ve seen well known BD youtuber journalist Riasad Azim who uploaded video interviewing the Match referee.

It’s seems that the match referee and others who were with Tamim have saved his life, kept him alive.

The helicopter came to take him to Dhaka but he fell worse, got unconscious, eyes started rolling upon reaching the place before helicopter landed. But they made a quick decision to return back to the nearby hospital again instead of transferring him to Dhaka, kept on performing CPR. If they did decided to fly him to Dhaka then the result could’ve been not good, as he was really struggling, and losing time, apparently.

But i think smoking is unrelated to heart attack. Am I wrong?

Smoking is one of the MAJOR risk factors for heart disease along with diabetes. Family history and genes carrying risk for heart attack is basically a major factor in someone as young having a heart attack . Its very likely Tamim has family history of heart disease at an early age and if he smoked , he made it worst.

His long term prognosis depends upon how much damage this " massive heart attack " has caused to his heart. Minor damage to heart , get revered with treatment ( angioplasty or surgery ) and patients can get back to normal quality of life and life expectancy . But if his heart attack has caused major damage to his heart and heart pumping capacity is significantly low, its not a good sign for good quality and longevity of life.

Abid Ali of Pakistan also suffered a heart attack in 2021 while playing cricket . He was rushed to hospital and had stent put in his heart arteries . Looks like there was not much damage done to his heart and he was back playing cricket and such patients with careful follow up and life style modification have almost normal quality of life and longevity.

I know many people who ran marathon after heart attack and receiving treatment , even heart bypass surgery.
 
Brain Lara and Surave Ganguly also had heart attacks and underwent angioplasties 3-4 years ago. They have been doing fine since. Although they were older than Tamim at the time.
 
My hearts wants him to recover but my mind believes his cricketing career is over.

May Allah help him.

Lot many factors to consider to make such a predictor.

@Dr_Bassim
Click to expand...

That is hard to predict because it depends on compliance to medications along with healthy lifestyle.

The single most important predictor of survival post STEMI is the ejection fraction.

If your EF is baseline despite having a STEMI the chances of having a normal life post STEMI are higher.

Obviously other co-morbidities like T2DM affecting kidney function, cardiogenic shock at presentation and poor kidney function play roles.

Non compliance to medications is single most important factor for ISR (in-stent restenosis) despite getting a stent as taking DAPT (dual anti platelet therapy) along with other medications for HFrEF (heart failure with reduced Ejection fraction) requires a lot of personal motivation and family supports.

Some studies also show that females cope well post STEMI. This could be because females have protective estrogen hormones at baseline along with the fact that females generally are more health conscious then men.

Obviously Tamim being young and suffering a heart attack calls into question what went wrong for someone who is an athlete. Most of the times its the biryani and oily foods that leads to build up of coronary artery plaques. Smoking plays a significant role. You can be thin and still have bad cholesterol (people assume bad cholesterol only in obese individuals) which could lead to deposition of plaques in the coronaries.

Moving forward he needs to take his medications diligently, Aspirin for lifetime, dyslipidemia medications for lifetime, watch his diet and exercise for the rest of his life.

Obviously this also assumes that there was no residual disease in the remaining coronaries. ( I don't have the Cath report but I am assuming if there were multiple blockages he would have gone for CABG instead of PCI. The fact he went for PCI means there was a single vessel occlusion fixed with 1 or 2 DES (drug eluting stents ) to the culprit vessel).

If there is residual disease in the coronaries (less than 70 percent is not considered significant enough to proceed for stenting) then his his risk for getting further coronary events will remain higher then general population.

Hope this all makes sense.

🤦‍♂️ bruh.. seriously. Did you have to bring that dictators name up, in this thread.

If he is to be sent abroad for further treatment he can be sent to Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore or somewhere in the west, for that matter. He has a networth of over 20million. Bcb is the 5richest board. Am sure they can afford to go somewhere in Thailand, Malaysia or Singapore for further specialist treatments, if needed.

Tamim Iqbal: Bangladesh cricketer recovering at clinic after heart attack

Former Bangladesh captain Tamim Iqbal has regained consciousness and is speaking to family members after suffering a major heart attack during a domestic match, cricket officials have told the AFP news agency.

Tamim, 36, was leading Mohammedan Sporting Club in a match of the 50-over Dhaka Premier Division Cricket League (DPL) when he was rushed to a nearby hospital after experiencing severe chest pain on Monday.

“He is now better. He talked to his family members and also walked briefly at the hospital,” club official Tariqul Islam said on Tuesday.

Mohammedan physiotherapist Enamul Haque said Tamim was in a stable condition and would likely be transferred to another medical facility soon.

“We had to go to hospital quickly to save his life, and luckily we did that,” Enamul told AFP.

Tamim was in critical condition when he was rushed to hospital, Razeeb Hasan, the medical director at the facility where Tamim received treatment, told reporters on Monday.

He also said Tamim had to undergo surgery to implant stents to clear an artery blockage.

News of Tamim’s health crisis saw an outpouring of support from the cricketing world.

“Please pray that my brother Tamim recovers quickly and returns to the game!” longtime teammate Shakib Al Hasan wrote in a social media post.

Tamim’s heart attack came on the same day as Shakib’s 38th birthday, but the all-rounder said he was unable to enjoy the occasion because of the news.

Indian cricketer Yuvraj Singh likewise offered his “prayers and wishes”.

“You’ve faced tough opponents before and come out stronger, this will be no different. Wishing you a speedy recovery. Stay strong,” Yuvraj wrote on social media.

Tamim represented Bangladesh in 391 matches across formats between 2007 and 2023, and was their one-day captain.

He scored more than 15,000 runs and is the only Bangladeshi to record centuries in all three international formats.

You are correct about the EF part.

Regarding comorbidities, we may assume that a 36 year old professional sportsman will have less chances of having such comorbidities.

In India, DAPT compliance has improved drastically. We see very few patients with poor compliance of DAPT. Some 10-12 years ago, compliance at the lower strata or villages was poor.

I don't know about protocols in your country but in India even with TVD if a patient presents early we do a primary angioplasty. Just stent the culprit vessel and then wait for 6-8 wks and do the other vessels. CABGs are being avoided if they can be. Even though CABG is more cost effective than putting 3-4 DES.

There has been a steady increase in the number of heart attacks in 30 to 45 population.


Stress and poor life style is one of the biggest reasons. Poor diet. Less exercise. Poor sleep. All these.

Genetics is another issue.

Dude i have seen and handled very well off BD patients. By well off i mean industry leader kind of people.

They fly to Kolkata. As its near and treatment is state of art. Singapore is better no doubt. But Thailand and Malaysia? I doubt.

The sheer number of patients we handle has given us the experience to handle anything.

Has the Covid vaccine contributed to the increase numbers , or is that just fake news?
 
Tamim Iqbal owes his life to the people who rushed him back to the nearby hospital instead of taking off on the helicopter to go Dhaka for better treatment. Who knows what the outcome might’ve been.

Rule pf thumb. In case of a cardiac event, rush to the nearest medical facility. Stabilize the patient. Then take elsewhere.

Maximum Covid vaccine can cause rhythm disturbances and palpitations (if anything).

It does not cause coronaries to be blocked.

Thats not how cardiology works.

I think he is talking about overall increase in risk in cardiac events due to Covid vaccines. And there is a slight increase in risk of arrythymias due to covid vaccines.

Though more transparent research is needed on this.
