George W. Bush apparently is wearing a medical device for "persons at risk
of cardiac arrest." It is a LifeVest wearable defibrillator. He started
using it sometime after his January 2002 fainting spell, which was
attributed to choking. Based on photos showing him wearing the device, one
can conclude the fainting was due to atrial fibrillation (AF), which his
father also had. His father's AF was caused by Graves' hyperthyroidism,
which his mother also has. Bush likely has AF and less likely Graves',
based on his family history and symptoms. The AF may have caused a stroke
or TIA (mini-stroke), of which physicians watching the debates detected
symptoms. Observers have noted psychological symptoms consistent with this
and with Wernicke-Korsakoff disease.

I have lone paroxysmal a-fib. There's virtually a zero percent chance of
having a stroke from an A-fib incident that lasts less than 48 hours. In
other words, there's no way that the President of the USA could have had
undetected A-fib for 2 days that resulted in a stroke.
