Dick Cheney, U.S. Vice President
Vice President Dick Cheney could not attend a campaign event he had scheduled for today in the state of Illinois because of abnormal heart activity.
His medical history includes a long list of heart problems, and what happened yesterday only goes to confirm that is it turning into a chronic disease.
After being consulted by the White House medical staff, he was then transferred to George Washington University Hospital, and diagnosed with atrial fibrillation, which means that his heart was beating at an abnormal rhythm.
His spokeswoman, Megan Mitchell, told the press all was going fine and that after the electrical impulse treatment he had received, Mr. Cheney went back to the White House and carried on with his schedule.
This new heart crisis has forced the Vice President to cancel his participation at a campaign luncheon in Illinois for Marty Ozinga, who is a candidate to the Congress seat left open by Jerry Weller.
