Dick Cheney Hospitalised with Chest Pains

THE TELEGRAPH: Former Vice President Dick Cheney has been hospitalised in Washington after experiencing chest pains.

His office said he was resting comfortably while doctors evaluated the situation. He reportedly received an angiogram test so that doctors could look into his coronary arteries, and the results showed he may need more treatment tomorrow.

Mr Cheney 69, who served as vice president from 2001 to 2009 under President George W Bush, has had a long history of heart problems and had a pacemaker fitted in 2001. >>> Nick Allen in Los Angeles | Tuesday, February 23, 2010
