Iowa State's Fred Hoiberg to Have Pacemaker Replaced
Iowa State men’s basketball coach Fred Hoiberg knew this time would come to
replace his pacemaker but he didn’t expect it to be so soon.
愛荷華州立大學的教練Fred Hoiberg知道他必須要替換他的心律調整器，不過他不知道這
時間會來得這麼快。
Hoiberg, now 41, was diagnosed with an aortic root aneurism in 2005. The
diagnosis ended his NBA career but saved his life. He was fitted with a
pacemaker during surgery and Tuesday that pacemaker will be replaced.
現年41歲的Hoiberg在2005年被診斷出有主動脈根部瘤。這個診斷結束了他的NBA生涯卻救
了他的命。他在當時的手術被植入了心律調整器，而這禮拜二這設備會被重新替換。
Hoiberg thought his current pacemaker would last until next year, but a
checkup suggested the batteries need changing now.
Hoibert原本以為他現在的心律調整器可以用到明年，不過在一次的檢查中發現內部的電
池需要更換。
Hoiberg often describes the changing of his pacemaker as “routine surgery.”
If all goes well, he’ll be out of the hospital the same day as the
procedure.
Hoiberg常形容更換他的心律調整器就像是「例行公事」一般。如果一切順利，他可以按
照時間表出院。
Hoiberg’s pacemaker is near his left shoulder. It controls the rhythm of his
heart beat. The pacemaker has been there 9 years.
Hoiberg的心律調整器被植入在靠近左肩的地方。這東西控制著他心跳的節奏。它已經在
那裡九年的時間了。
Doctors will remove the old pacemaker, and replace it with a new one.
醫生會移出舊的，並換成一個新的。
Hoiberg’s heart forced him to stop playing basketball competitively, but he
works out daily to stay in good shape.
Hoiberg的心臟讓他無法再打高強度的籃球，不過他仍然每天鍛鍊來維持體態。
Hoiberg will also need a new heart valve one day. Unlike the pacemaker, that
will not be routine surgery.
Hoiberg有天也會需要一個新的心臟瓣膜。和心律調整器不同的是，這不需要定期接受手
術。
Fred told Channel 13 Sports Director Keith Murphy in April when he first
collapsed nine years ago, he thought he was dying. With successful surgery,
good doctors, and the pacemaker, he’s able to live a regular life.
Fred在四月的時後告訴Channel 13 Sports的主持人Keith Murphy，當他九年前第一次倒
下的時候，他以為自己死定了。在成功的手術、優良醫生與心律調整器的幫助下，他現在
可以過著規律的生活。
But the pacemaker remains a constant, beating reminder, his heart needs help.
不過這個心律調整器也時時提醒他，他的心臟需要幫助。
