Joe Biden
Celebrities with Atrial
Fibrillation
His medical documents include a report of his treatment in ’06 for a “lone atrial fibrillation.” Biden at the
time felt “irregular heartbeat through the course of the afternoon,” and reported that he
felt “fatigued, uneasy and the sensation that his heart ‘wasn’t in sync.”
Doctors reportedly were “reassured” when a stress test found no “significant structural abnormalities,” and
recommended only “lifestyle measures” to decrease risk of further episodes, including regular exercise and
decreased caffeine intake (he said he had 7-8 cups a day).
