Dwayne Polee II and SDSU coach Steve Fisher met with the media Monday to discuss the 6-foot-7 senior’s return after collapsing Dec. 22 against UC Riverside and staying on the floor for 15 anxious minutes while paramedics attended to him, then leaving a hushed Viejas Arena on a yellow gurney
Polee was diagnosed with an undisclosed form of cardiac arrhythmia, or irregular heartbeat, that is not considered life threatening. He was treated with a catheter ablation – an electrode threaded through an artery in the groin that cauterizes the offending heart cells and, according to Fisher, has been given “positive clearance to play with no restrictions.”
