Blair is hospitalised with heart problem { October 19 2003 } Original Source Link: (May no longer be active)    http://news.ft.com/servlet/ContentServer?pagename=FT.com/StoryFT/FullStory&c=StoryFT&cid=1066565193051 http://news.ft.com/servlet/ContentServer?pagename=FT.com/StoryFT/FullStory&c=StoryFT&cid=1066565193051 Blair is hospitalised with heart problem By Jean Eaglesham Political correspondent Published: October 19 2003 21:19 | Last Updated: October 19 2003 21:19 Tony Blair was on Sunday admitted to hospital suffering from an irregular heart beat. The prime minister returned home to Downing Street after a series of tests during a five-hour stay. The 50-year-old prime minister was taken as an "acute admission" to London's Hammersmith Hospital on Sunday lunchtime after feeling "a little under the weather". Mr Blair was diagnosed with an irregular heartbeat. He underwent a series of checks and a procedure known as a cardio conversion was carried out to restore a regular heartbeat. The prime minister was reported by Downing Street to be "feeling fine" by the time of his release. Number 10 on Sunday night said there was "no reason" why the heart condition should recur and that Mr Blair would resume full-time duties on Tuesday after taking a 24-hour rest. The health scare follows a period when the prime minister has been under intense pressure, with the controversial decision to go to war on Iraq closely scrutinised by the Hutton Inquiry. Mr Blair, a father of four, has travelled extensively overseas in recent months to try to win backing for the war on terror and the Middle East peace process. Any suggestion of recurring heart problems would raise questions about Mr Blair's ability to cope with the punishing prime ministerial schedule. The scare is the first suggestion of a health problem for the prime minister, who is known to take regular exercise. On Sunday night Iain Duncan Smith, the Tory leader, said he was very sorry to hear Mr Blair had been taken into hospital. "I very much hope that he makes a swift recovery," Mr Duncan Smith added. The prime minister's 24-hour break from official duties means the government's statement to MPs on Monday on the European intergovernmental summit will be made by Jack Straw, the foreign secretary.
