Nah, too aggressive.

Irregular heart beat = either probably went for a TEE (transesophageal echo) to make sure he has no clots swimming around in his heart. The theory being that before you do an ablation or treat the irregular heart beat with medicine, you have to make sure there are no clots swimming in your heart, or as soon as you make that HR normal, you're gonna shoot that clot right into your brain.

I just take meds.

I don't think I have the same problem Harbaugh does, though.

Though, I have been diagnosed with SVT. (supra-ventricular tachycardia, for those that don't know)

The sudden onset and "feeling ill" make me think it's different. SVT is usually genetic, isn't it? With onset at a younger age?

Yeah, that's more like what I think of when hearing the term "minor procedure".

It's a bit more worrisome than SVT, though.

Justin Smith on what team told players regarding Harbaugh's irregular heartbeat: "They said it's no big deal and everything should be fine."

Not to make a joke in this serious situation, but how many times have we hear the comment "Harbaugh needs to calm down on the sidelines or he is going to have a heart attack" made by the masses?
Too many times to recall ...

yah he does get pretty worked up, I worry he will burn out ealry.
In all seriousness, he should consult his Dad ... above and beyond the X's and O's of being a coach. I mean, Jack was a coach from '64 to '06,
there has to be some pearls that Jim can relate and adhere to.

I think his passion for the game, combined with his personality gets the better of him.

I guess you could liken it to a school grade - how about an "A", vs an "A-"

Not necessarily genetic, everybody's heart can be mapped out differently electrically.

Thanx ... better understanding now.

Coach probably just heard what Briggs said about he and Urlacher being better than Willis and Bowman and wanted to make sure all is well before he has to seriously put a hurtin on somebody Monday night! GO NINERS! Tired of this s**tcago hype. If their defense can't score, they lose. PERIOD! Everything is setting up nicely for a beatdown in SF on MNF!! The 49ers better be attacking this entire week "with an enthusiasm unknown to mankind"!!

That makes sense. It's really the sudden onset at Harbaugh's age....

In any case, this can all get very complicated. Too many possibilities. Hell, just saying "SVT" could really mean any number of things.

They say it's minor, so I'll just take it that way.

These damn hospitals and insurance companies getting paid ..probably nothing wrong with him

I agree it could be many things! I am purely speculating, and was just throwing out a possibility. I just hope all is well!
