Fetterman campaign says procedure was successful

Fetterman’s campaign said the procedure to implant a pacemaker and a defibrillator into his chest was successful. The campaign released a statement saying the procedure started at 3:15 p.m. and ended at 5:56 p.m.

(snip)

He is 6'8" and I expect like many men of that height, there is probably a greater risk of cardiac issues (you hear about young basketball players suddenly dropping dead in their teens and twenties).
