Bernie had a heart attack earlier this week

This discussion thread was locked as off-topic by Omaha Steve (a host of the General Discussion forum).

A heart attack caused Sen. Bernie Sanders to be hospitalized earlier this week, doctors say


Sanders, 78, who was released Friday from a Las Vegas hospital, experienced chest pains at a Tuesday campaign event. Doctors found a blockage in one artery and performed a stent procedure to clear it. “Sen. Sanders was diagnosed with a myocardial infarction,” his doctors said in a statement released by his campaign.
Sanders, an independent senator from Vermont, is seeking the Democratic presidential nomination. His wife, Jane, said earlier this week that he would rest at home for several days before returning to the campaign trail.
This is a developing story. It will be updated.
