Former President Bill Clinton was hospitalized today at NY's Columbia Presbyterian Hospital after experiencing severe chest pain which may or may not have been a full heart attack

Douglas Band, counselor to former President Bill Clinton, said in a statement to Politico that "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."

The statement continues, "In 2004, President Clinton underwent a successful quadruple bypass operation to free four blocked arteries."
