John Timmer at ARS:
Your heart has four chambers, two atria and two ventricles. The atria are smaller chambers at the top of the heart, and their contraction fills the larger ventricles with blood. The ventricles then provide the powerful push that sends the blood either to the lungs to pick up oxygen or out to the body once it is oxygenated. […]
The proper coordination of the beating of all these parts requires a carefully synchronized spread of electrical signals through the four chambers. Given the complexity involved in getting this to work, it shouldn’t be surprising that it sometimes goes wrong. The fault for problems can be anything from a temporary physical change to a permanent problem with your heart’s development that started back when you were an embryo. The consequences can range from irrelevant to fatal.

Kavanaugh Lied to the Judiciary Committee—Repeatedly
William Saletan at Slate:
Hear, hear.
Just shameful. To think that a man being considered for appointment to the highest court in the land would be so deceptive and contradictory in his testimony, not to mention the rank paritisanship he displayed by answering the questions of Republican senators directly while talking in circles in response to the questions of Democratic senators in hope of running out their clock without answering their questions, is beyond the pale.
That was, simply put, not the way an innocent man protests his innocence.
