Senator Bernie Sanders' presidential campaign is now saying the 78-year-old had a heart attack. He left a Las Vegas hospital on Friday after being admitted with chest pains on Tuesday.
Later, after dropping off bags at his hotel, he was seen taking a walk in a nearby park with his wife, Jane.
His doctors in Las Vegas, Arturo Marchand and Arjun Gururaj, said the senator's"hospital course was uneventful with good expected progress," theAlthough his campaign is not saying when he will resume a normal schedule, on Thursday it was announced that Sanders does plan to take part in the next Democratic debate, scheduled for Oct. 15 near Columbus, Ohio.& Vascular Institute, said that stenting should allow Sanders to resume normal activities.
Dr. Satjit Bhusri, a cardiologist at Lenox Hill Hospital in New York City, said Sanders suffered the classic signs of heart attack and was promptly sent to emergency services. According to the American Heart Association, stents help keep coronary arteries open and reduce the chance of a heart attack. Doctors insert the stent -- a tiny mesh tube -- into the clogged artery with a balloon catheter. When they inflate the balloon, the stent expands and locks in place. This allows blood to flow more freely.
