A cardiologist who examined John Fetterman after his stroke said he has a type of cardiomyopathy, a heart disease that makes it harder for the heart to pump blood around the body. 'If he takes his medications, eats healthy, and exercises, he’ll be fine.'
The Allegheny County cardiologist who examined Fetterman on Thursday said the candidate ignored his advice back in 2017, when Fetterman was experiencing swollen feet and went to see him. Chandra diagnosed him then with atrial fibrillation , a type of irregular heart rhythm, and prescribed medications, along with improved diet and exercise. He asked Fetterman to follow up in a few months.
had mounted over the health of their nominee in the critical race, and as cardiologists not involved with Fetterman’s careFetterman’s campaign and his wife, Gisele, had said he suffered from A-fib, leading to his May 13 stroke. That type of heart rhythm can indeed cause a stroke. But when Fetterman got the combination pacemaker-defibrillator four days later, they said the device was implanted to treat the A-fib.
Chandra said the pacemaker-defibrillator was working well, based on his examination. The campaign said doctors in Lancaster echoed the same after a check-up this week. “I thought losing weight and exercising would be enough. Of course it wasn’t,” he said. “I didn’t do what the doctor told me. But I won’t make that mistake again.”Fetterman said doctors have told him to continue to rest, eat healthy, and exercise. He did not provide a timeline for his return to the campaign trail.
