WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. Vice President Dick Cheney, who has a history of heart problems, was treated with an electric shock for an irregular heartbeat discovered during a doctor's visit on Monday, his office said.
Cheney, 66, one of President George W. Bush's closest advisers, returned home from the hospital after the procedure, which required sedation, and will resume his normal schedule at the White House on Tuesday, his office said.

I am very impressed by this man's dedication to duty and his country. He should, by all rights, take several days of bedrest.
But for some strong willed individuals, the work of the nation comes before one's own well-being.
God Speed, Vice President Cheney!
