Senator John Warner was hospitalized today with an irregular heartbeat, according to this report from The Richmond Times Dispatch.
Warner checked in with the Capitol physician’s office at mid-morning, returned to his office for additional meetings, then went in the afternoon to an appointment at Inova Fairfax Hospital, the statement said.
At the hospital, he had a procedure to correct atrial fibrillation, which is a problem with the speed or rhythm of the heartbeat. A second, routine procedure will be performed today, his office said.
WJLA in DC also has a report. Senator Warner is 80.
