Blair Heart Trouble - A Doctor Writes

As soon as I heard that Blair has suffered heart palpitations I e-mailed the BBC medical report to a cardiologist friend in Madrid to ask for his opinion. Needless to say I didn't take what No. 10 said at face value. Below is the Doctor's prognosis:

La taquicardia supraventricular en gneral (si es aislada y no existe cardiopatia estructural de base) es benigna y solo propuce sensacion de palpitaciones. Si le han realizado una cardioversion "electrica" probablemente se trate de una fibrilacion auricular y hay que descartar 1?) patologia estructural subyacente 2?) predisponenetes (hipertiroidosmo, anemia, STRESS, etc) y en principio tbn es benigna. Lo que pasa es que con lo que "el pobre tiene encima" podra ser recurrente y entonces es mas problematico de tratar porque podria implicar necesidad de anticoagulacion
Cuidarlo!

Roughly translated - No problems - he should get over it - but with all the problems he has on his head there could be a recurrence in which case he would need anti-coagulants.
