The former White House reporter claimed that following a medical procedure, he had a pacemaker installed in his heart. He said that his previous stent needed to be reopened since it had become obstructed:
It turned out that the signals I received during Trump and Putin’s trip to Helsinki were once more obstructed. They then reopened it, but my heart’s electrical wiring was failing just like that of former Vice President Mike Pence. I have a pacemaker, thus I am now battery-powered.
According to the reporter, he was feeling “75 percent” better and anticipated being “100 percent” better soon. John Roberts also expressed his gratitude to his medical professionals and his support group for the identification and care he received.
John Roberts received a first-time diagnosis of two clogged arteries in 2018. His ailment was treated at the time by MedStar Washington Hospital doctors who put artificial tubes into his heart to increase blood flow.
However, one of the stents had just been clogged and required immediate medical attention. According to Roberts, doctors performed “a little ultrasound” inside his coronary artery and found the most recent issue.
A conventional angiography, according to the television personality, would have overlooked the clogged stent issue. After replacing the damaged stent, doctors gave Roberts a pacemaker to monitor his cardiac health and control his heart rhythm. In a 2020 interview with The Washingtonian, the journalist attributed his cardiac issues to years of smoking:
John Roberts, however, claimed that he now values nutritious food and adopts a “healthy lifestyle.” A “sports fanatic,” the reporter added, he enjoys “cycling, tennis, golf, walking, trekking, and skiing.” He seems to take pride in his “quite reasonable form” and feels that “maintaining his health and fitness” is essential to him “on multiple levels.”
