Former Israeli president Peres back in hospital with chest pains: aide

Israeli elder statesman Shimon Peres was hospitalized on Sunday for a second time in as many weeks after complaining of chest pains, an aide said. Peres, who was released from hospital last week after suffering a heart attack on Jan. 14, was conscious and the hospitalization was a precautionary measure, Peres aide Ayelet Frisch told Reuters. “It was an irregular heartbeat and he will stay in overnight, hopefully he will be released tomorrow,” she said.
