André Janones hospitalized in intensive care with heart rhythm disorder
Brazilian lawmaker André Janones was hospitalized in an intensive care unit in São Paulo on Sunday after developing an irregular heart rhythm.
He was reported to be stable and under observation, according to his cardiologist.
Janones had watched a televised debate between President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva and Flávio Bolsonaro that evening.
An arrhythmia disrupts the heart’s electrical signals, causing it to beat too fast, too slowly or irregularly.
Some cases can lead to serious heart problems, cardiac arrest or sudden death if untreated.
Doctors can use an electrocardiogram to check the heart’s rhythm, and treatment may include medication or procedures.
Janones’s condition is being monitored in intensive care, but no further update or next step was given.
