VP Dick Cheney Treated for Irregular Heartbeat Called Atrial Fibrillation
Vice President Dick Cheney was sent to the hospital after experiencing an abnormal heartbeat Wednesday morning.
Cheney underwent an outpatient procedure to "restore his normal rhythm". Cheney saw the White House physician. It was discovered there that he was experiencing a recurrence of atrial fibrillation, an abnormal rhythm involving the upper chambers of the heart.
Cheney was taken to George Washington University Hospital in the afternoon. The irregular heartbeat was determined after Cheney was treated by White House doctors for a lingering cough.
Cheney also experienced atrial fibrillation in November 2007, and doctors also administered an electrical shock then in a treatment that took about 2 1/2 hours.
Atrial fibrillation, also called A-fib, causes the upper chambers of the heart to quiver, instead of pump. As a result, some blood can pool in the heart. When blood settles, it tends to clot. And if those clots are then pumped out to the body, they can lodge in tiny blood vessels in the brain, causing a stroke.
Cheney has had four heart attacks in his life, dating back to when he was 37 years old. He has had quadruple bypass surgery and two artery-clearing angioplasties. In 2001, he had a special pacemaker implanted in his chest.
