On Saturday, August 7, DJ GQ was taken by ambulance from Tequila Ranch at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino, in Hollywood, Florida, to a nearby hospital. He was complaining of chest pains and a rapid heart rate. He was subsequently diagnosed with PSVT, a heart condition that causes the heart rate to occasionally and unexpectedly speed up, sometimes reaching as much as 200bpms.
Yesterday, Tuesday, August 10, 2010, DJ GQ underwent a procedure to correct this issue. The procedure was administered by a team of top cardiologists and is considered 90% effective and safe. Unfortunately, yesterday was also GQ's birthday and he spent it in a hospital bed, but thankfully he is now at a nearby hospital and expected to make a full recovery.
DJ GQ would like to send his fans his heartfelt thanks for all of their concern and well-wishes, as word has spread of his hospitalization. He would like everyone to know that he is in good spirits and will soon be back to good health. His recovery is not expected to interfere with his scheduled performances or radio appearances. Updates will be posted on his Facebook account.
