Ferguson gets pacemaker

The stress of management
<br>
Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson has been given a pacemaker after initially receiving treatment for a heart condition in December.
<br>
The 62-year-old underwent the procedure several days ago and was back behind his desk inside 24 hours.
<br>
<br>
Ferguson had been suffering from an irregular heartbeat and said: "I want to reassure fans everything is OK.
<br>
<br>
"It was an option for me to get this done. The club knew about it and I feel great. It's business as usual."
<br>
<br>
Ferguson informed chief executive David Gill of his plans before having the operation, which lasted for 90 minutes.

PACEMAKER FACTS
<br>
Pacemakers are given to people whose hearts need help to beat as they should
<br>
They conduct electrical impulses down the electrode lead to the heart, stimulating heartbeats
<br>
The devices last for an average of six to 10 years

Q&A: Ferguson's heart problems
<br>
<br>
The procedure is now routine in Britain, with over one and a half million people, including singer Sir Elton John, having the device fitted.
<br>
<br>
Last year, Ferguson was diagnosed with a condition called supraventricular tachycardia (SVT), which can cause palpitations and dizziness.
<br>
<br>
There were fears that the stress of football management had brought on the condition, but Ferguson returned to work a day after the diagnosis and agreed a new contract with Manchester United in January this year.
<br>
<br>
Ferguson went some way to removing part of his professional burden by bringing old friend Walter Smith in as his assistant until the end of the season.

개인적으로 퍼거슨경은 고혈압같은데..
만약 메뉴가 리즈에게 10:0으로 진다면 퍼기경이 심장마비 되지 않을까-_-
그럼 퍼기경 사망하오!
챔피언스 리그만 100경기나 치루고 심장이 무사하다면 그게 문재있는거 아닐까요? ㅋ
페이스메이커..주로 부정맥 환자들이나 심장박동이 불규칙하고 원활하지 못한 분들이 착용하지요.. 기계를 후진거 쓰면 핸드폰 전파에도 오작동한다는 것도 있었는데..ㅡㅡ 같은 심장계열 환자로서 걱정이 되는구려..ㅠㅠ
