"Doc just called me, Joo's procedure is over and it was PERFECT!," Fetterman's wife, Gisele, tweeted.
According to Fetterman's campaign, the pacemaker will help protect his heart and address the underlying cause of his stroke, atrial fibrillation , by regulating his heart rate and rhythm."John Fetterman is about to undergo a standard procedure to implant a pacemaker with a defibrillator," his campaign said Tuesday.
The 52-year-old Fetterman, who has been hospitalized all weekend, previously insisted the health emergency wasn't slowing his campaign. On Friday morning, before Fetterman was to appear at a scheduled campaign event at Millersville University, Fetterman's wife"noticed that John was not himself, and shortly after he started slurring his speech and he was taken to the hospital," a campaign spokesperson said.
In a 16-second video released by his campaign, a seated Fetterman, speaking clearly, explained that he"just wasn't feeling very well" on Friday and decided to go to the hospital at the urging of his wife. He detailed the situation further in a written statement.I didn’t want to go – I didn’t think I had to – butThe good news is I’m feeling much better + I’m well on my way to a full recovery.
