flgreen Posted April 1, 2010 Share Posted April 1, 2010 Weatherford has erratic heartbeat fixed http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=5047093 Weatherford has erratic heartbeat fixed Associated Press FLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- Steve Weatherford is no longer worried about his heart. He hopes the New York Jets feel the same. The veteran punter told The Associated Press on Thursday that he had a procedure last week to prevent irregular heartbeats, such as the one that caused him to miss an opening-round playoff victory at Cincinnati last season. "I want my coaches to have full confidence in me and that was something that needed to be done," Weatherford said. "I don't want that to ever be an issue again. I want to grow old and be a dad for many years to come, and if you can fix it, why not?" Weatherford had cardiac ablation, a minimally invasive procedure used to treat abnormal heart rhythms, last Thursday at Morristown Memorial Hospital, located a few miles from the team's facility.

Larz Posted April 1, 2010 Share Posted April 1, 2010 my wife had the same exact procedure it's minimally invasive but scary as hell because they more or less use a scar on your heart to fix the problem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
