Blitzer has revealed NO reason as of yet. Has someone else scooped the story? Relevant link, please?

8. Big Dawg, we love ya!

This after he lost all that weight and started looking after his health...

[hlthe2b]

56. That will improve his prognosis and recovery. It's a good thing.

Arteriosclerosis occurs over periods of years and decades. No diet was going to correct the damage that had already occurred, but he is in good shape and should do well.

I refuse to believe otherwise and he is in my thoughts. Take care, Big Dog and Hillary. As always, we are rooting for you! (and we need you now, more than ever!0

[alphafemale]

9. omg. Come on big dog. We need you.

Everybody pray, meditate, chant good thoughts...whatever it is you do.

:grouphug:

[Liberal Veteran]

10. One can only imagine the celebration at FR over this.

Ten to one there are already a dozen posts hoping he dies.

[Whoa_Nelly]

18. Just checked over on FR

and the thread on that was there, did a refresh, and the thread had been pulled

on edit: Also, the person originally posting about this on FR stated the "news" came from Faux re: surgery, always the front-runner in starting rumors.

[rinsd]

21. Probably....

They're a pretty sick bunch.

Of course, you would still get some jerks here if the situations was reversed. It happened when anyone else on their side died.

[progressivebydesign]

26. Sad but true. But let's not worry about FR today..

let's put our positive energies to Bill Clinton today.

[rinsd]

61. Agreed.....screw them....

If they're the basis we compare oursleves too, then we already come up short.

[northernsoul]

23. majority of FR posts back-handedly respectful, but...

there's at least a dozen "comedians" who think they're the first ones to think up some kind of crack about too many Big Macs.

Best wishes and prayers for Bill and his entire family.

[CEDEVLvg]

101. Well...

...frankly, that's probably what this is about.

I quit eating fast food years ago for this very reason. My cousin had the luck to marry herself a heart surgeon, and he says he'll need an entire ward to take care of us when that special time comes.

Hopefully they'll be able to fix mine with angioplasty but I'm not betting on it. And also...it's much easier to do major surgery on someone who keeps their weight in line and doesn't have diabetes or high blood pressure.

A word to the wise, friends.

[BiggJawn]

118. They're not. I am....

And I just had a Big Mac last night. OK, I was weak, I admit it. I just didn't WANT something made of soybeans.

Hang in there, Big Dawg! America still need ya!

I think it's optimistic that he checked himself into the hospital, rather than being found on the floor by soembody!

[Fleshdancer]

31. apparently the freeps were questioning the timing of this

idiots.

[name not needed]

64. Even Protest Warriors are being somewhat civil.

[tandot]

71. I checked FR...some really awful comments but also some prayers

offered.

We all know how "compassionate" these people are. No suprise that heartless morons would celebrate Bill Clinton's heart attack.

[Pirate Smile]

11. It is bypass surgery.

[PfcHammer]

12. NYT:Former President Bill Clinton Had a Heart Attack and Is in a New York

Hospital

CBS Radio just reported:

Clinton complained of chest pains. Now at Columbia Presb in NYC.



Also Daily Kos diary,

http://www.dailykos.com/story/2004/9/3/112222/1557

[Southsideirish]

108. Heart attack or angina (chest pains)? There's a huge difference.

[medeak]

13. south beach diet

doesn't sound so appealing now.

This breaks my heart...he's my "cousin Bill" (born in Ark and consider everyone a cuz)

[hlthe2b]

59. VERY WRONG conclusion. See my post #56

And, South Beach is not like Atkins. It is a balanced diet which focuses on 'healthier' carbs, rather than strictly no/low carbs and healthy fats, proteins, etc. His diet did NOT cause this, but rather 30-40 years of UNHEALTHY diet, stress, genetics, etc. DID.

[medeak]

89. WELL ALL RIGHTY THEN

Do you have to scream at me? am not that familiar with the diet but it is not recommended by husband's doc as husband has heart disease despite years of healthy living...dna..every member of family has had MI by age 45 for three generations.

We do rice and veggies and fruit.

[lazarus]

94. Atkins is as balanced as South Beach

if anybody would bother reading the freaking books.

[Fleshdancer]

14. Wolf is talking about it now....

saying his cholesterol has been a little high but nothing to be overly concerned about. Said he was getting "checked out". I'm confused now. Surgery or no surgery??

I hope he's okay.

[Algorem]

15. chest pains,will undergo bypass surgery says Bob She-fur of cbs.

[cmf]

17. Oh no!

He's in my prayers.

[Monte Carlo]

19. I know several guys who've gone in for tests and had surgery the next day.

My grandfather being one of them. When the find out you are on the brink (they call the clogged arteries 'widowmakers'), they take you in for a bypass ASAP.

[Ediacara]

28. this is what happened with Letterman, is it not?

[Corgigal]

49. and I

believe at the same hospital too.

[Mistress Quickly]

29. And they are becoming more and more routine

And people more often than not fully recover.

Thank goodness they caught it before he had a heart attack!

Positive people have better recoveries, so he has that going for him.

[Cicero]

35. Same thing happened to my mother-in-law

...a few years ago, she went in for chest pains, had to have double bypass surgery.

Problem with her, though, she had a series of mini-strokes at the same time. She's never been the same since.

Hope you pull through, Bill!

Later,

[wryter2000]

78. My sister in law

My sister in law had bypass surgery. It was a tough time for her, but she recovered just fine.

Hope it's the same for our guy!

[Richardo]

97. Off subject, but this paragraph must have the wingnuts frothing...

Though he always has had bitter detractors, Clinton's popularity remains high, according to a recent ABC News/Washington Post poll. As he started a book tour in June, the poll showed his retrospective job approval rating at 62 percent, topping its average during his presidency. :D

Best wishes for a speedy recovery, Big Dog!!

that Clinton had a heart attack.

Clinton :loveya: Please get well soon.

51. OK, listening to Rush (I know, I know)

...and Roger Hedgecock is in for him. Just read a release that Clinton is in for a quadruple bypass. :wow: :scared:

Ack. Not good, not good.

Later,

[belle]

Haven't heard that from any legit source. Wishful thinking i think.

[Cicero]

75. So far I've heard here that its going to be a triple

Anything over a double is scary (well, scarier, heart bypass is always scary, no matter how routine nowadays) in my book.

Haven't heard anywhere else confirming the quad...

We'll all find out more, I'm sure.

Get better, Bill!

[Connie_Corleone]

39. I'm praying for him now.

[Bandit]

40. They have them up and walking within days and normally this will

revitalize a person. This could be a blessing for sure. He is young and should recuperate quickly. Fingers are most definitely crossed though and prayers being said.

[belle]

66. Yeah, I think he'll be okay, scary as this always is.

He's certainly going to get the best of care. It's good that he got checked out right away.

[SotarrTheWizard]

91. Not quite. . .

. . .but close.

I'd say having one of the best hospitals on the planet and a team dedicated to you would be the "Best of care". . .and the sitting President gets that from Bethesda Naval Hospital (I know, I'm quibbling)

But I'd say he's likely getting a standard only a fractional notch below that. . . .

[SotarrTheWizard]

84. Let's hope so. . .

. . .had a friend, Marathon runner, great shape, and still had a massive heart attack: only the fact that they lived practically next door to the ER is the only reason he's alive today.

Also read, while searching for news, something about he had an angioplasty on or about the 25th, and now has a more serious blockage, requiring quadruple bypass.

Outlook is good, I'd say, but there's always some risk, and after the recent angioplasty, more chest pains are a little ominous. . .

46. According to Faux (i know, i know), it's a 'blockage in his arteries'

NEW YORK — Former President Bill Clinton has been admitted to a New York hospital, a source confirmed to FOX News.

The president is undergoing heart bypass surgery after a source confirmed that Clinton was admitted after encountering a blockage in his arteries.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=post&forum=102&topic_id=799302&mesg_id=799302


On edit: Local news, NY1, also is talking about 2 blocked arteries.

[onehandle]

47. Aide: Bypass surgery, but not today. CNN. nt

[progressivebydesign]

52. I'd be like... "do the surgery NOW! I'm not leaving this hospital!"

But I'm a wimp. This has been so confusing this morning, so many conflicting reports. I hope that the latest is the true report... that he will need surgery, but not today. That's a good sign. He's my favorite president, ever... nothing can happen to him, ever. :grouphug:

[yellowcanine]

48. Shit - he needs to lay off that junk food and stay off of it.

That Mickey D's "food" will kill you. It really will.

[thinkingwoman]

54. people who never eat junk food

still get clogged arteries.

Seriously.

[TexasBushwhacker]

63. You can't get past genetics

David Letterman's dad died of a heart attack in his 50's. Dave was a lean mean jogging machine, but his arteries were still a mess. That's why he was diligent about getting his heart checked and that's why he needed a 5X bypass when he went in for a routine angiogram. You can do everything with diet, exercise and every medication to lower cholesterol. Some people arteries just clog up, PERIOD. Tennis great Arthur Ashe was the same way. He had to have his first bypass operation when he was 36 and had to have another heart surgery when he was 40!

[progressivebydesign]

83. Genetics hasten the damage.. but didn't Dave smoke back then?

Genetics play a part. BUT, there is no quibbling with the fact that smoking, drinking, eating hydrogolized fats (which is in junk foods), and red meat, will cause damage in anyone.. regardless of their genetic make-up. To dismiss those facts with anecdotes, while true, does not cancel out the real risks. It's like the arguments against wearing seatbelts because a small number of people have been trapped in their cars by them in an accident. Better to wear the seatbelt, but have a tool to cut it handy. And better to live a healthy lifestyle, and avoid heart attack and disease, regardless of your genetics. My father had his first heart attack at 33, then died at 54 from a heart attack. He ate terribly, smoked and drank. Not one of my relatives have died from heart related causes who did not either smoke or drink. All the others have lived, or are living long happy lives. While genetics makes you more susceptible to problems, your lifestyle can really, really make a difference. It's not about preaching to everyone to live healthy.. but rather it's hoping your loved ones make good choices so they'll be around for a long, long time.

It's no secret that Bill Clinton loved the junky foods.. and that his weight has moved up and down the scale repeatedly. Losing and gaining even small amounts of weight is extremely dangerous, too.

I just hope he's okay.

[TexasBushwhacker]

117. Don't get me wrong, I'm NOT advocating an unhealthy lifestyle

I'm just saying that you can't rest easy even if you do EVERYTHING in your power, via healthy diet, exercise, no smoking or drinking, etc. I had a cousin by marriage who was a nurse-midwife. She ate healthy, kept her weight under control, exercised regularly, etc. She did everything the right way to protect her heart, but bad tickers just ran in her family. They went in to do bypass surgery when she was 63 and she didn't make it through the surgery. It was just all genetics. Granted, she probably added years to her life, but still she died way too young. She was a great lady, and oddly enough she and my cousin were missionaries in Afghanistan, Iraq and Iran back in the 60's and 70's.

[progressivebydesign]

119. I agree with you...

.. most of us don't what our genetics have handed us until something like this comes up. I play it safe, knowing my family history. I really enjoy life, so I want to do everything I can to prolong it... even if it means passing up some really tasty foods!

[Corgigal]

85. 5X bypass ?

What does that mean?

[TexasBushwhacker]

113. Quintuple - 5 coronary arteries bypassed n/t

[CEDEVLvg]

115. Sure...

...but many hospitals won't do them.

Cleveland Clinic does them for sure, but they do a lot of things other places won't do.

I like to say they're the Navy Seals of thoracic surgery.

Johns Hopkins, Mayo and (believe it or not) Baylor medical center in Dallas are all very good choices.

[SOS]

76. True

Best wishes and thoughts to President Clinton.

On diet - if you are at risk, get a c-reactive protein test!
The cholesterol won't do any damage if the arteries are not "sticky".
The cholesterol sticks to the arteries when they are inflamed.
The CRP test will tell you if your arteries are sticky.
Half of all heart attacks occur in people with normal cholesterol levels.

[comsymp]

96. CRP is okay, but

even the ultra-sensitive (Cardio) CRP can't determine the source of the inflammation, therefore it's virtually useless for anyone with any chronic inflammation (arthritis, pregnancy, etc.) or for anyone who has recently recovered from colds, flu, etc.

Personally, I'd suggest a Cardio (ultra-sensitive) CRP in conjunction with a VAP and Homocysteine. Otherwise, I'd have the VAP done first, if cost is a factor, as it directly measures the level of LDL subparticles.

ON EDIT: Prayers for him and the family, of course.

[CEDEVLvg]

111. Yes...

...they do, but his diet sure doesn't help.

I have a body type that's fairly close to his, in addition to a family history of heart disease. My wife and I work less than a mile from each other, carpool each day and go to lunch together. We do this because I have ZERO willpower when it comes to food and she's insistent that keep off the weight I lost over the past year.

Bottom line...I go to lunch with a guard, and it works. Otherwise, I'll just blow up like a balloon. Lots of guys are like this.

On the positive side, I never smoked or drank. That helps but considering my genetics there's still reason to worry.

They'll probably put him on Zocor or Lipitor...Zocor is the better one and more expensive. Statin drugs are bad for the liver...gotta keep an eye on that man.

[BiggJawn]

121. And I ate crap, smoked, did everything wrong...

And my doctor says my EKG "looks perfect". I can stress myself on the hills to 186 BPM, and I'm 47 and still pretty fat. (but that's changing)

Nothing's guarranteed by "The Rules", just goes to show...

Hurry up and get well, Bill!

[JerseygirlCT]

104. My FIL had this happen and he ate very well -m

was fairly slim, didn't smoke, exercised daily -- all the right stuff.

Sometimes genetics just trumps all.

He's just fine now, though. Still watches his diet and exercise -- takes far better care of himself than I do!

[cal04]

50. Our prayers are with You

The president is undergoing heart bypass surgery after a source confirmed that Clinton was admitted after encountering a blockage in his arteries.

Clinton was one of the youngest presidents to have entered office after being elected in 1992. In July, he appeared at the Democratic National Convention, where he gave a rousing speech to rally support for John Kerry.

Sources gave no indication that Clinton would suffer any damage from what has become a frequently-performed procedure.

[RedEarth]

53. Reuters link

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Former President Bill Clinton will undergo quadruple bypass surgery later on Friday, television networks reported.
ABC and CBS television reported that Clinton, 58, had checked in to the hospital for quadruple heart bypass surgery.

CNN reported that the former Democratic president was undergoing tests at Columbia Presbyterian hospital after experiencing chest pains.

57. Triple bypass later today...according to NY1 news (local news station)

[cal04]

60. I hope someone will update us , this is the latest, too many

conflicting reports.


A Democratic Party official told Reuters that Clinton had checked into the hospital with "chest pains." The source, who spoke on condition of anonymity, could not confirm that Clinton would undergo bypass surgery.

CNN quoted a source close to the former president as saying the surgery could take place as early as Saturday.

Clinton, the 42nd U.S. president, promised at the Democratic convention in July to be a "foot soldier" in John Kerry's race against Republican President Bush.

[onehandle]

58. Hillary not cancelling public event today. CNN.

An indication that surgery is not today.

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) - Former president Bill Clinton, after experiencing chest pains, is to have heart surgery for a quadruple bypass, media reports said Friday.

(CBS) CBS News has learned that former President Clinton was hospitalized on Friday in New York City after complaining of chest pains.

A source close to Mr. Clinton tells CBS News that Mr. Clinton complained of chest pains Thursday night and was taken to a hospital near his home in Chappaqua, N.Y. Doctors, according to our source, found a blockage. Mr. Clinton is now in the New York Presbyterian hospital in Manhattan.

The New York Times reports on its web site that Mr. Clinton had a heart attack. CBS News has not independently confirmed that.

Many of them are hoping for the best for Mr. Clinton

but some of them questioned the timing of his medical crisis, and one said that they hope he pulls through because the coverage of his funeral would be too much.

I guess they figure he faked a heart attack to take attention from Bush's convention

90. Multiple lesions, routine surgery tomorrow. ABC link

The severity of Clinton's coronary problem was discovered after tests this morning at Westchester Medical Center in Valhalla, N.Y., a source said. His coronary results were not favorable and he was found to have multiple lesions, the source added.

A senior source with the campaign of Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry said the campaign is aware of Clinton's hospital trip this morning, but that there is contradictory information about the diagnosis and what's next. Campaign officials are said to be closely monitoring the situation.

ABC News' medical editor Dr. Tim Johnson said that without more information, it's hard to know how serious Clinton's situation is, but that he very well could enjoy a healthy recovery.

"It's a very routine operation," Johnson said. "He has in his favor that he's a relatively young man and in other ways appears to be in relatively good health."

93. Damn!

Keep praying folks. And be calm. Half my family had multiple bypasses and they're all doing fine. Big Dog will pull through!

[CEDEVLvg]

95. This Is...

...a very safe surgery nowadays. It's been said that getting a heart bypass at Cleveland Clinic is like visiting the car wash...and it's a good analogy.

My uncle was told by Hershey/Penn State medical center that he needed a five-way and they couldn't do it, sent him home to die, etc. Cleveland Clinic did the work, kept him for two weeks to resolve an irregular heartbeat and he's good as new today.

I'm sure Clinton has the best doctors and the best hospitals available to him - but I'll also bet that his diet will change after this is over.

I love hamburgers and BBQ, too - but they'll kill ya.

[lancdem]

110. He has been eating healthy for some time now

It also could be genetic.

[CEDEVLvg]

112. My Grandfather...

...lived to be 78, and he was heavy, diabetic and had multiple blockages. If I can get rid of this beef maybe I won't be diabetic so soon and live into my eighties.

Strokes and heart attacks kill my family...we're just like old Volkswagens: one morning you fire them up and they throw a rod.

Ugly.

[GaryL]

116. Mine too.

But God bless technology. What used to lay you up for 6 months now is more like 2 to 4 weeks. My Aunt, at 78, had a quadruple bypass, another triple at 80, has cancer and is still going at almost 85.

[Corgigal]

98. I wish I didn't know when the surgery was

because now I will worry but Our Big Dawg will pull through.
NO more GWB speeches for him-EVER.

[soup]

99. Best wishes to President Clinton

for a successful surgery and a speedy recovery.

[Pirate Smile]

102. Please correct your subject line about it being this morning unless

you have a link for it because they are now saying "as early as Saturday" on CNN. MSNBC was reporting Tuesday but I haven't heard anyone say this morning.

[daleo]

103. Good luck to Bill Clinton

A man of his intelligence is always sorely needed.

[cal04]

105. Update from 1010 wins

The president and his doctor were scheduling the bypass for later, the official said.The official did know the percentage of blockage.

In Little Rock, Ark., Clinton's mother-in-law, Dorothy Rodham, said Clinton had called her after he was struck with chest pains and sounded good.


"He sounded wonderful as usual and very upbeat as he always is," she said. "I just told him how much I love him."

Mrs. Rodham said she didn't know if he was in the hospital when he called.
