Scary morning

Bobby's heart went out of rhythm this morning.   He had what is called v-tach, which is a fast heart rhythm that originates in the ventricle.   The emergency team had to be called and there were upwards of 10 people in his room, along with the defibrillator machine (paddles for shocking the heart back into rhythm).  Fortunately, he got himself back into rhythm without having to have much intervention.

The doctors still don't have a theory for why he went out of rhythm.   We'll learn more today.

    Is this something that the pacemaker could help prevent? I know they put the wires in but not the device. Does this event make it more necessary to proceed now rather than later?
