Bernie Sanders was hospitalized after a heart attack, his campaign announced for the first time Friday.
Wednesday that he had chest pains the previous evening and doctors had inserted two stents to address a blockage in an artery. That is a fairly common procedure, with one cardiologist calling it “mostly a nuisance” that would likely keep him hospitalized for only one or two days.But Sanders’ staff initially revealed little information about his condition beyond the stent procedure.
“His hospital course was uneventful with good expected progress. He was discharged with instructions to follow up with his personal physician,” they said. Sanders’ campaign canceled several events this week after he was hospitalized. His aides said Thursday that he would participate in the Oct. 15 debate in Ohio.
