Fetterman hospitalized after fall near his Pennsylvania home
- On Thursday, Pennsylvania Democratic Sen. John Fetterman was taken to a Pittsburgh hospital after a fall near his Braddock, Pa. home, and his office said he is under routine observation.
- Doctors determined he experienced a ventricular fibrillation flare-up that left him light-headed, and that arrhythmia episode preceded the fall during his early morning walk, the spokesperson said.
- He suffered minor facial injuries in the fall and was evaluated by medics, and he has opted to stay in the hospital so doctors can fine-tune his medication regimen.
- Lawmakers are in their home districts after passing a funding bill earlier this week, and the Senate is expected to return next week, making Fetterman’s condition immediately relevant.
- Fetterman has faced several significant health challenges in recent years, including a May 2022 stroke, pacemaker with a defibrillator implantation, and a six-week clinical depression treatment at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center.
