Doctors are stupid. It wasn't irregular heartbeat, Jim Harbaugh's heart just found a better, more efficient blood pumping rhythm.

Dr. Matthew DeVane, a cardiologist in Walnut Creek, says Jim Harbaugh "likely" had a cardioversion performed …
DeVane is the president of the East Bay Board of Directors for the American Heart Association: "About the only thing I can think of, and it's very common, is that his heart probably went out of rhythm into something called atrial fibrillation, which is the most common abnormal heart rhythm. And it can just cause the heart to race and flutter and can make you feel uncomfortable. It's a minor procedure and, again, this is guesswork, but it's called a cardioversion where we put the patient to sleep for just a few minutes and give the heart a little zap to try to re-set it back into a normal rhythm. It's a very, very common procedure. It's done on an out-patient basis. Usually people are home within two hours and ready to go the next day with no limitations or restrictions."

we can probably trace this back to last year when he tasted the blood of brooks and liked it

dude there really is something wrong with you. I just thought you were immature and biased...but no, you have some problems imo. How old are you Valrod? Maybe that will help me understand you more.

Also a possibility that he got an ablation (which would be the long-term fix), also a common out-patient procedure where they run a cord up through your groin to the inside walls of your heart, and temp freeze the muscles causing the irregular convulsions so that everything flows in perfect sequence again.

Oh s**t that sounded like a serious thing! Glad they are saying it is minor. Hope he comes out of this 100%.
