Harbaugh having heart procedure

No cutting. They put a pad on your chest and charge up a machine that is about the size of a computer. It times the shock with your EKG and you get a hell of a kick in the chest and most of the time your heart is beating normally. It takes literally a few seconds.

I can weigh in with the perspective of a 4th year medical student.

Jim most likely had atrial fibrillation which non life threatning arrhythmia. The minor procedure was a DC cardioversion. Jim will be ok.

So still don't know did the surgery involve cutting him open at all?

Edit: nevermind, I see GBninerfan answered it and said they just shock you. No cutting involved.

i know a high school girls bb coach who has to wear a device that helps keep her heart in the proper rythm, wonder if he will get hooked up to one of those things. it tells her when s**t is not right and she has to wear it when coaching

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.
