Someone linked above a wikipedia article on the defect. It's undetected because one of the walls in the heart thickens over time. Very difficult, constant scanning I guess.
Eye witness's say that Muamba was still receiving treatment to revive him as he left in the ambulance.
I'm scared that he died on the pitch but they didn't want to announce it at the time
Please be ok
This is what i'm thinking unfortunately

Oops sorry. Just got in to the house and right to the pc and didn't see what was going on yet. My apologies.

Yeah, fear the worse too
10 minutes on the pitch isn't a good sign, but the medical staff at Spurs/Bolton have probably done everything right, and it will be thanks to them if he recovers.ECG and ECHO can detect heart defects but it is not 100%.

No worries
Exactly what I've been thinking too.

I'm dreading this as well. The look on the faces of the players was horrible.

We've got a PL game at the Lane on Wednesday. I very much doubt that will go ahead, and if the news on Muamba is bad I doubt tomorrow's games will go ahead either.

I feel like throwing up
Did someone say he wasn't breathing for 10 minutes

That's what I was thinking. It'll take a strong character to be the replacement for him in that line-up.
Really hope he pulls through, horrible thing to happen

Yeah BBC.
I am dreading this, I am dreading refreshing this page that the next post will say he has died
Horrible.

It will have been more than that.I feel like throwing up

It was 10 minutes on the pitch alone I think. Then he was taken away and to hospital and attempts were still being made to revive him.
As it stands we don't know if he has been revived at all. Very scary.

My concern is that as yet, we havent had any reports come through of him being successfully recusitated, despite attempts on the pitch, in the tunnel and in the ambulance from whats being said.
Games will go on.

Horrible.
This is how I feel too.
10 minutes of no oxygen to the brain.. can't imagine he is pulling through. Terrible news
Even if he does I don't think he'll be playing football again.
Really really terrible this.

Sucks.
I haven't checked the numbers, but does this happen disproportionally to players of African origin?

I don't really don't know what to do with my evening now. I don't know why but this kind of thing hits so much closer to home than reading about most awful news.

Middlesbrough defender Justin Hoyte, who came through the Arsenal youth team with Muamba: "I seriously hope my best friend in football is OK. Stay strong bro please please stay strong. God is with you remember that."
Brought a tear to my eye
I was so sad to read that.

Let's just hope and pray Muamba recovers.
I think the incident was handled so so well by everybody involved. The medical staff were so quick to the scene, some players seemed to be helping and embracing each other. Howard Webb did a great job of going around and speaking to the necessary people and the fans inside the stadium were amazing, the way they were chanting Muamba's name was really moving.
ESPN's coverage was also very suitable.

I'm the same way. Reading news it just that, reading. In this instance we saw it transpire live and feel more distressed due to powerlessness of being able to do anything. There's probably also a factor that this is entertainment and it's the last place you expect to see a human possibly die whereas for news you're mentally prepared to read about it.
Only just heard about this. Really awful news.
I don't really have much hope. 10 minutes without oxygen is very ominous. There is something truly awful and morbid about a young fit man collapsing in front of a stadium full of people in a televised game. It really hits you much harder than you might otherwise think.
Hope he pulls through.

this is heartbreaking to hear about
such a long time without an update but you want to hope for the best.
Surely they must notify the close ones first whatever the outcome is.

Yeah, and as much as I want to know what's happening, sure we all agree it should now be a personal issue.
When there is a major development, no doubt we will be told. For now, in my mind, no news is good news, there's still hope.

Imagine how his family feel right now. Muamba was an interesting guy. I remember reading a few years ago that he was studying medicine to have a career after football, on advice of his parents who always wanted him to be a doctor.

Worst bit for them is that if they are based in the North West, they are now such a long way away from him.
