RFK Jr. Treated for Irregular Heartbeat
Environmental lawyer Robert F. Kennedy Jr. was hospitalized overnight for an irregular heartbeat, a spokeswoman said.
Kennedy, 47, was released from Swedish Medical Center on Wednesday morning, said hospital spokeswoman Melissa Tizon. He was in Seattle for a speech.
The hospital said Kennedy was admitted with a condition known as atrial fibrillation, which can occur in otherwise healthy adults. The condition can lead to a stroke. Symptoms include fatigue and dizziness.
His heartbeat was restored to normal and he was released in good condition, the hospital said.
Kennedy, son of the late Sen. Robert F. Kennedy, is co-director of the Environmental Law Project at Pace University in White Plains, N.Y.
