"Washington (CNN) -- Former Vice President Dick Cheney suffered a mild heart attack Monday when he complained of chest pains and was hospitalized, his office said Tuesday.
"Lab testing revealed evidence of a mild heart attack," the statement said. "He underwent a stress test and a heart catheterization. He is feeling good and is expected to be discharged in the next day or two."
During the catheterization, which took place at George Washington University Hospital, doctors examined blood flow to the heart and tested how well the heart was pumping.
In the procedure, a doctor inserts a catheter, a thin plastic tube, into an artery or vein in the arm or leg and threads it into the chambers of the heart or into the coronary arteries. The test can measure blood pressure within the heart and how much oxygen the blood contains.
Two sources said Tuesday that Cheney, 69, was in his hospital room, where he had lunch with family members. He also was working with them editing a chapter of a book he is writing.
He was described as being in good spirits…"
As you know I am NO fan of Dick Cheney. But thank God I am a better person than many right wing Republicans. Many right wing Republicans have been praying for Democrats in congress to die. Even some have been praying for the President of the United States to die.
I wish no harm to fall on Dick Cheney and I have not been praying for him to die.
Now I have not been praying for his good health but that is because I do not pray for things like that anymore. The last time I can remember praying for something like that was when I was in a Catholic high school and prayed all day at school and on the bus heading home. I was praying that my dog, Lady, would be OK. She had been sick and my dad refused to spend money to have a vet check her.
I found her dead in front of the ice box when I got home. I think I decided then that praying for the heath of a dog was not a good idea.
