Atrial fibrillation can cause blood to pool inside a pocket of the heart, allowing clots to form. Clots then can break off, get stuck and cut off blood, causing a stroke.<\/p>\n<p>Fetterman has said the stroke was atrial fibrillation. He underwent surgery after the stroke to implant a pacemaker with a defibrillator to manage the condition.<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Democratic Sen.
