Vice President Dick Cheney will visit George Washington University Hospital today after doctors discovered a recurrence of an abnormal heart rhythm, his spokeswoman said in a written statement.

Cheney has a history of heart problems, including several heart attacks.

Doctors discovered today that Cheney was “experiencing a recurrence of atrial fibrillation, an abnormal rhythm involving the upper chambers of the heart,” Megan Mitchell said.

He will undergo an outpatient procedure to restore his normal rhythm, she said.

Cheney canceled a campaign event in Illinois for Marty Ozinga, a Republican nominee for a U.S. congressional seat.
