Bill Clinton is now resting after having to undergo emergency surgery to open up a clogged artery. He had a heart attack earlier this morning, but the news about the specifics were only revealed recently.

This will mark the second heart attack that Clinton has survived (the other occurred in 2004).

Since his first heart attack in 2004, Clinton vowed to live a healthier lifestyle. He ate right, exercised, and lost weight in the past few years, but still his heart problems remain.

Unclogging an artery involves a procedure called “stenting” which is explained in this video. Of course, the procedure is only a temporary fix to the problem.
