Colin has kept everyone up to date with his progress on Facebook as he now has an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator fitted into his heart which will be able to perform defibrillation should he take ill again. Nurses and doctors had scanned Colin’s heart but there was no scarring which ruled out a heart attack.
