According to the Cleveland Clinic, v-fib is the most common deadly arrhythmia and has a high risk of fatal complications, including sudden cardiac arrest and brain damage. Despite the seriousness of the condition, Fetterman's spokesperson reported that he is doing well and receiving routine observation at the hospital. Fetterman has chosen to stay in the hospital to fine-tune his medication regimen and is grateful for the medical care he is receiving.
