Virginia Sen. John Warner Hospitalized With Heart Condition
« on: February 26, 2008, 11:55:45 AM »
WASHINGTON —  Sen. John Warner, R-Va., has been hospitalized for an abnormal heart condition but it is not considered serious, FOX News has confirmed.

A statement from his office released Tuesday says Warner, 81, was "pursuing a re-evaluation and readjustment of medications which require regular monitoring and observation within a hospital environment," after a return of the common condition for which he was treated last fall, known as atrial fibrillation, or irregular heartbeat.

Warner on Monday was admitted to Inova Fairfax Hospital, where he remains for observation, the statement says.

Symptoms of atrial fibrillation include heart palpitations, lack of energy, dizziness, chest discomfort and shortness of breath, according to WebMD.com.

It can be caused by high blood pressure, coronary artery disease, heart valve disease, previous heart surgery, chronic lung disease, heart failure, cardiomyopathy, congenital heart disease or pulmonary embolism, according to WebMD.com.

Warner, a moderate Republican, has said he will not seek a sixth term this fall.
