WASHINGTON (AP) - Vice President Dick Cheney experienced an irregular heartbeat Monday and will be evaluated at George Washington University Hospital.

The condition was detected when Cheney was seen by doctors for a lingering cough from a cold.

"During examination he was incidentally found to have an irregular heartbeat, which on further testing was determined to be atrial fibrillation, an abnormal rhythm involving the upper chambers of the heart," said spokeswoman Megan Mitchell.

John Bolton would be my choice!

That would give the Rats an almost instantaneous heart attack.

Vice President Dick Cheney was back at work Tuesday after doctors administered an electrical shock to his heart and restored it to a normal rhythm after he experienced an irregular heartbeat.

Seeing the guy on the left in the Oval Office, even just for a visit, is enough to make anyone's heart skip a few beats.

It’s cough syrup. Take my word for. It happens to millions of males with hypertensive history and it should be stopped by law.

They’ll put him on warfarin, blood-thinner, and he will most likely be fine. Have to watch his broccoli intake and get blood tests regularly to keep the warfarin therapeutic.
LOTS of people have a-fib.

Good! Glad to hear it. Hadn’t seen any of your food photos lately, so was “just wonderin’” what you’d been up to.

Wow! Beautiful, as always! Don’t you do fondant icing? Looks like it, as it seems to flow so nicely. What flavors? Such a treat!

Yes that is fondant icing. It is rich fruit cake with marzipan and then the fondant icing on top the traditional British Christmas cake.

I normally do Royal Icing for mine but as I was mailing it I thought fondant icing would travel better.

Thanks! When I saved it to my HD, I already had it in there from an earlier time, but without the chart. Now I have it all. Love things made with marzipan! Yummm.

A better VP with an irregular heartbeat than most have been without one.
