Cheney Has Common Cold; Heart Fine Sunday, November 14, 2004 Vice President Dick Cheney, back home after a brief hospital visit, has nothing more than a cold and his heart is fine, an adviser said Sunday. Also doing well is former President Clinton, who had heart surgery in September, a former aide said. Cheney, who has had four heart attacks, had three hours of tests Saturday after experiencing shortness of breath. They showed no problems with heart — "none whatsoever," said Mary Matalin, a former top White House aide to the 63-year-old vice president. "He's fine," said Matalin, who has acted as his spokeswoman this weekend. Cheney's most recent heart attack was in November 2000, just before he assumed the vice presidency. He had a pacemaker implanted in his chest in June 2001. Matalin said Cheney was just following the orders of his "very cautious" doctors who recommended that he have tests at the hospital. Cheney returned Thursday night from a pheasant hunting trip in South Dakota with a cold that left him short of breath. She said on NBC's "Meet the Press" that Cheney should serve as "an inspiration to people with heart disease that you can lead such a productive and constructive life." She noted the vice president's heavy travel schedule during the presidential campaign, saying Cheney attended more than 280 events. foxnews.com
