Shlomi Matetzky, the head of emergency medicine at Sheba Hospital in Tel Hashomer, says Shimon Peres is doing well, hours after he was admitted suffering a minor heart attack.

“Mr. Peres has brought to Sheba after a heart attack. Soon after his admission, he was taken to the catheterization room. One of the arteries in his heart was blocked and has been opened correctly, [and] we have seen an improvement in his condition. I am pleased to inform you that Mr. Peres has been feeling great in the last few hours,” Prof. Mazetsky says, according to the Walla website.

The former president will remain under observation at the hospital for a few more days, Mazetsky adds.
