[cnn-photo-caption image= http://i2.cdn.turner.com/cnn/2010/images/02/23/art.cheney.cpac.gi.jpg caption="Former Vice President Dick Cheney suffered a mild heart attack Monday."]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.

WHO CARES???
Too bad.
The man has no heart, don't you know ?
Maybe the Stress of admitting on ABC News that he is a war criminal maybe Dick might get whats coming to him JAIL!
all that lies and dishonestly is finally catching up to him,he is not even man enough to admit at this age of his life all the wrong doings,at least general powell is a man of intergrity,more than i can say about dick chaney
Don`t bother with news of "another" heart attack----- just let us know when his "last" one strikes.
Too bad,we where all hoping....
Great, now he has a longer lease on life to spew his special brand of vitriol. Just what America needs.
Ding dong the witch is ..........
i tell you this man is the devil...he's survived more heart attacks than any person i know! leave us already sheesh!
The fact this man is still alive is proof there is no god.
I thought cyborgs were heartless
wow, wish the rest of us could have such great health care...
while i don't wish cheney ill, but maybe his heart is trying to tell him that all of the hate he expouses is not good for him
Cheney...Heart....Oh please you must be joking.
The Dick had a bad week, and that may have led to his chest pains. Gen. Patraeus and Colin Powell pointed out that the Dick was wrong about Obama not keeping us safe, and the memos released showed that the Dick was lying about the information gathered because of torture. Keep the Dick alive for the war crimes court.
I hope he dies
Are we suppose to feel sorry for a man who has blood dripping off his hands? Karma is the way I see it. Best insurance taxpayer money can buy.
As disgusted as I am with your evil political tactics.......I hope you get well soon so you can face your destiny like a man.
I don't want to see Cheney fall dead of a heart attack. No, no. I'm holding out for lethal injection.
Poor thing
Cheney as more lives than a cat but he is going downhill faster than ever.
How odd, the CNN bloggers are using this as a chance to thrash Cheyney.
That's really weird, I'm sure CNN is appalled at the things being said about Cheyney.
A heart attack on Dick Cheney is the same as a Big Foot attack.
Big Foot does not exist, and neither does Dick Cheneys Heart!
I wonder if this was meant to be a wake up call from his maker for spreading all the hate and lies about the president. Of course I thought it would slow down Rush a bit, but he is worse than he ever was. Of course i dont suppose Dick cant get it through his head either. Palin needs to be next for a wake up call, she is just as bad as those two are.
