Our take: Fabrice Muamba, a soccer player for the U.K.'s Bolton Wanderers, made headlines when his heart stopped for a full 78 minutes during a soccer match in March.

Ever since his heart stopped a full 78 minutes during a match against Tottenham Hotspur in March, soccer player Fabrice Muamba has been in making news in the U.K. with his miraculous survival story.

Cardiologist, Dr. Andrew Deaner, said, "If you're going to use the term 'miraculous,' I guess it could be used here."
