@Vile_Entity_3545 One wonders if there might have been an increase in tachycardia after a certain illness, which can lead to A-fib. A screwed up AV Node over a recent illness. I had that happen, but it wasn't due to the coof. 160 BPM, and A-Fib. It wasn't pleasant.

@junehitchcock170 It can just happen, but from what I've been told, it happens over having a previous illness. I had pneumonia, and during that, I acquired Sinus Tachycardia. I have to take meds to slow it down. I had to go to the ER over the 160 BPM, where the A-Fib made my heart feel like it was wiggling about in my chest. Luckily, an injection of metoprolol in my IV slowed it down, and the A-fib stopped; no shock needed.

Portable defibrillators are a fad in the US.
