WASHINGTON (AP) — Former Vice President Dick Cheney was admitted to the hospital Friday after experiencing discomfort, the latest health scare for the 69-year-old Republican leader who has a long history of heart disease.

Cheney was expected to remain at George Washington University Hospital over the weekend, said spokesman Peter Long.

It was not immediately clear whether Cheney's health concern was related to his previous heart troubles. He sustained his last heart attack, deemed a mild one, in February.

Cheney was not feeling well on Friday and went to see his doctors at George Washington University. On their advice, he was admitted to the hospital for further testing.

Cheney's heart attack earlier this year was his fifth since age 37. A heart attack occurs when blood flow to the heart muscle is blocked. In that episode in February, Cheney underwent a stress test and a heart catheterization.

Long said he had no other details about Cheney's condition.

A face of his party for decades, Cheney has remained a prominent voice of opposition to the Obama administration. His public career spanned decades, including service as a lawmaker, defense secretary and White House chief of staff.

Cheney had bypass surgery in 1988, as well as two later angioplasties to clear narrowed coronary arteries.

In 2001, he had a special pacemaker implanted in his chest. In addition, doctors in 2008 restored a normal rhythm to his heart with an electric shock. It was the second time in less than a year that Cheney had experienced and been treated for an atrial fibrillation, an abnormal rhythm involving the upper chambers of the heart.

If I was Dick Cheney, I'd have a Cardiologist move in with me. I'm not kidding. I hope he's okay. He seems like a nice guy.

Yes, he should have one with him 24/7!! Plus, he can afford it. In any case, I hope Mr. Cheney gets well soon!!!

Cheney may be a hard-ass Neo-Con, but he is one thing...a human.

I wish he either comes out of this okay, or let God take him home so he won't suffer anymore.

Liz Cheney (his daughter) was on Fox News Sunday today, she said they hope he'll be coming home tomorrow (Monday).

That's good news. I wish Liz Cheney would consider running for office. She's a solid conservative and is extremely well-spoken. I've never seen anyone win a political argument with her. I know she's busy with four kids; but still, her talents are wasted on talk shows and her consulting work. She got both her parents good political genes. Her mother is fantastic too.

I heard that, too. I'm glad he'll be home soon.

So that's good...Cheney's out of the Hospital.

Cheney should take it easy a little more so.
