Bill Clinton in New York hospital, sources say

From John King, CNN

February 11, 2010 4:57 p.m. EST

(CNN) -- Former President Bill Clinton was hospitalized in New York on Thursday after experiencing chest pain, two sources told CNN.

The sources did not know whether it was a "full heart attack."

The White House was told of the situation, a source close to the former president told CNN.

Clinton, 63, underwent quadruple bypass surgery in 2004 at New York-Presbyterian Hospital. Doctors in 2005 removed scar tissue and fluid that had built up after that surgery.

A spokeswoman for that hospital said she had not heard anything about the report.

In recent weeks, Clinton was overseeing the United Nations aid mission in Haiti after a January 12 earthquake struck there.

Here is the POLITICO Breaking News email I got ~ Sooz

POLITICO Breaking News:

Douglas Band, counselor to former President Bill Clinton, said in a statement:: "President Bill Clinton was admitted to the Columbia Campus of New York Presbyterian Hospital after feeling discomfort in his chest. Following a visit to his cardiologist, he underwent a procedure to place two stents in one of his coronary arteries. President Clinton is in good spirits, and will continue to focus on the work of his Foundation and Haiti's relief and long-term recovery efforts."

Let him have at least one vice. He doesn't even drink or smoke.

He doesn't smoke the cigars. They aren't the cause of his heart condition (I'm pretty sure the heart problems were pre-existing to the cigar incident [img]/domainskins/bypass/img/smileys/wink.gif[/img] ). They may put him at a greater risk for head injuries due to blunt force trauma though. [img]/domainskins/bypass/img/smileys/happy.gif[/img]
