He sought medical care with complaints of chest pain and shortness of breath. According to reports he has also complained of fatigue over the last few weeks. The 58 year old politician sought medical early and appears to have prevented damage to his heart. He will undergo bypass surgery soon and is expected to make a full recovery.
