Anthony Van Loo is a young Belgian defender, who last played for SV Roeselare in the Jupiler League.

Around June 2008 he was diagnosed with a heart condition, possibly hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, but was allowed to resume his career after having a defibrillator implanted in him.^[1]

In 2007 he was called up to the U-23 International Challenge Trophy Squad.

A video clip showing Van Loo's defibrillator at work, shocking his heart back into a normal rhythm after he had suffered a cardiac arrhythmia during a match, was posted to YouTube on 8 June 2009.
