Sean Hayes Reveals Emergency Room Visits for Atrial Fibrillation Treatment

The actor and podcast host described driving himself to the hospital twice in one night for cardiac shock therapy without alerting his husband.

Sean Hayes disclosed on the SmartLess podcast that he recently experienced two emergency room visits in one night due to atrial fibrillation, a condition causing irregular heart rhythms.
The actor drove himself to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center for treatment, where doctors used defibrillator paddles to restore his heart's rhythm on both occasions.
Hayes did not wake his husband, Scott Icenogle, during the episodes and later joked about going to dinner the same evening after being treated.
The Emmy-winning actor has previously spoken about his history with atrial fibrillation, describing it as a condition that often requires hospital visits to stabilize his heart rhythm.
Fans expressed concern and support following the revelation, sharing their own experiences with similar heart conditions and wishing Hayes a speedy recovery.
