Hart may need pacemaker surgery
By CAMERON MAXWELL -- Calgary Sun
The head of the first family of wrestling might have to undergo
surgery to get a pacemaker installed.
Stu Hart, who turns 86 next week, may need the procedure to correct an
irregular heartbeat, which has resulted in medical complications.
"Doctors will decide in two weeks if he needs a pacemaker or not," said
Helen Hart, Stu's wife, from the family home yesterday.
"But he's really doing well."
Stu was hospitalized April 12 after suffering from pneumonia and heart
troubles.
The legendary wrestling patriarch spent nearly two weeks in Rockyview
Hospital before being released under the provision he bring oxygen tanks home
to help his breathing.
