Bernie Sanders Health Update: Senator Recovering After Heart Attack

Sen. Bernie Sanders (D-Vermont) suffered a heart attack, his campaign said Friday as he left the hospital. Sanders, the oldest candidate in the presidential race at 78, was initially admitted to a Las Vegas hospital Tuesday night after experiencing chest pain at a campaign event.

Sanders tweeted Friday that he is looking forward to getting back to work.

“I want to thank the doctors, nurses, and staff at the Desert Springs Hospital Medical Center for the excellent care that they provide,” he tweeted. “After two and a half days in the hospital, I feel great, and after taking a short time off, I look forward to getting back to work.”

Before his hospitalization, Sanders said that he would release his medical records.

“The American people have a right to know whether the person they are going to be voting for for president is healthy,” he said.

In January 2016, Sanders’s campaign released a letter from his doctor stating that he was “in overall very good health.”

Sanders is still planning to take part in the next Democratic primary debate, on Oct. 15 in Ohio.
