The 78-year-old Democratic presidential candidate says he is feeling so much better after undergoing surgery to unblock an artery in his heart.

Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders had a heart attack, his campaign has confirmed, as the Vermont senator was released from a Nevada hospital.After having two stents inserted into a blocked artery, doctors said the rest of his arteries were normal

There is no indication yet from Senator Sanders or his doctors if the heart attack caused any permanent damageThe 78-year-old was at a campaign event on Tuesday when he experienced chest discomfort and was taken to a hospital where he was diagnosed with a heart attack. The senator was transferred to Desert Springs Hospital Medical Centre, where doctors inserted two stents to open up a blocked artery in his heart, according to a statement from the Las Vegas doctors.A blocked artery can cause a heart attack, which means an area of the heart is suffering and in danger of damage because it is not receiving enough blood or oxygen.

An artery-opening procedure like the one Mr Sanders had, and placing stents, which are tiny scaffolds to keep the artery open, restores blood flow and helps prevent future problems. The statements from Senator Sanders and his doctors do not indicate whether his heart suffered any permanent damage, or the extent of any.
