White House physician and scheduled a hospital visit to restore his normal rhythmFor the 67yearold Cheney who canceled a campaign event he was to attend later Wednesday in Illinois it will be the second time in less than a year that he will have the cardiological procedureThe vice president's office said that after experiencing a problem 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 said Megan Mitchell a Cheney spokeswomanAs a result Cheney was scheduled to go to George Washington University Hospital in the afternoon for an outpatient procedure an electrical shock to restore his normal rhythm Mitchell said Cheney was remaining at the White House until time for the procedure and participated in regular morning briefings with President Bush among other dutiesCheney also experienced atrial fibrillation in November 2007 and doctors also administered an electrical shock then That irregular heartbeat was discovered while White House doctors were treating the vice president for a lingering cough from a coldCheney has had four heart attacks starting when he was 37 years old and many related doctor and hospital visits over the years since He has had quadruple bypass surgery and two arteryclearing angioplasties In 2001 he had a special pacemaker implanted in his chest The pacemaker's battery was replaced last year and then the entire device was replacedIn 2005 he had surgery to repair an arterial aneurysm on the back of each kneeIn his checkup in July doctors said Cheney's heart was beating normally for a man of his age and health historyThe campaign event Cheney will miss is for Marty Ozinga a wealthy suburban concrete company owner Ozinga is running for the House against Democrat Debbie Halvorson a highranking Illinois state senatorAbout 28 million Americans have atrial fibrillation the most common type of irregular heartbeat and cases are increasing as the population ages The episodes are not lifethreatening in and of themselves and patients often aren't even aware when they happen But if the irregular heartbeat continues it can increase the risk of the formation of blood clots that can shoot to the brain and cause a stroke which is lifethreateningThough the heart sometimes gets back into rhythm on its own the standard way to restore normal heartbeat is electric shock a lowrisk procedure If that doesn't work patients may need to take the blood thinner warfarin to reduce stroke riskThe type of defibrillator Cheney has is used to prevent sudden death from a very different type of irregular heartbeat the most serious kind that starts in the bottom of the heart
