Alejandro Aguinaga said the 81-year-old former president was taken to Lima's Centenario clinic on Saturday night"with cardiac problems."He said Fujimori was undergoing tests after"suffering atrial fibrillation" or an irregular heartbeat, as well as from"pancreatic cysts."A frail Fujimori, president of Peru from 1990-2000, would continue to undergo tests at the clinic, he said.
