WASHINGTON - U.S. presidential candidate Bernie Sanders suffered a heart attack earlier this week, his physicians said on Friday, describing his health scare in more specific terms than previously disclosed.
Within hours, his campaign said Sanders, an independent senator from Vermont, was conversing and in good spirits, and on Thursday his wife said he would participate in the fourth Democratic debate on Oct. 15. The two doctors said “all other arteries” were normal for Sanders, and that he was discharged with instructions to follow up with his personal physician.
“After two and a half days in the hospital, I feel great,” Sanders said in a statement that his campaign circulated together with the comments from his doctors. “After taking a short time off, I look forward to getting back to work.”
