>>If Yeltsin is indeed out, << Not according to the Kremlin ... Wednesday October 21 3:01 PM EDT Kremlin Says Yeltsin At Residence, Health Fine MOSCOW (Reuters) - The Kremlin, dismissing a report that Russian President Boris Yeltsin's health had deteriorated, said Wednesday he was fine and staying at his Gorky-9 country residence outside Moscow. ''The president is at Gorky-9. His health is normal,'' an official at the presidential press service said by telephone. Asked about a news report that Yeltsin had suffered a mild heart attack, the official said by telephone: ''This report does not correspond to reality.'' Yeltsin, who has been recuperating from an illness which the Kremlin says is bronchitis, visited a hospital for a check-up earlier Wednesday, Kremlin officials said. They said Yeltsin, 67, had eliminated all but the last traces of the illness and that his health was ''normal.'' Michael DeBakey, the U.S. surgeon who advised the team which carried out heart bypass surgery on Yeltsin in 1996, told Reuters by telephone from Houston that he had not been called by Yeltsin's staff and he assumed he had not had a heart attack. ''I am sure that the doctors would let me know... They certainly do call me even on matters that are not so serious, so I assume they would call me,'' he said. He said he had last been called by Yeltsin's medical staff when the president went down with his current cold and bronchitis. ''They called to tell me it was just a cold. He seems to be recovering fine,'' DeBakey said. Yeltsin has regularly interspersed his work at the Kremlin with spells at country residences since his heart operation nearly two years ago. Russian and international media often speculate about Yeltsin's health, partly because Kremlin officials have not always been completely open about this in the past.
