Clinton is expected to make a full recovery, but doctors said he was fortunate to have checked himself into the hospital when he did. The heart disease they re paired was extensive, and block age in several of Clinton’s arter ies was “well over 90 percent,” said Dr. Craig R. Smith, the sur geon who led the operation. “There was a substantial like lihood that he would have had a substantial heart attack,” said Dr. Allan Schwartz, chief of cardiol ogy at New York Presbyterian Hospital/Columbia. Smith said Clinton could leave the hospital in four or live days. Clinton was awake but sedated about four hours after the opera tion ended, Schwartz said. The four-hour surgery came three days after Clinton arrived at the hospital complaining of chest pain and shortness of breath. But doctors said Clin ton’s problems were not as sud den as had been portrayed. He had suffered shortness of breath and tightness in his chest for several months, blaming them on off-and-on exercising and acid reflux, his doctors said. In addition, the former presi dent had high blood pressure and may not have been adequately treated for high cholesterol. His doctors said Monday he was put on a cholesterol-lowering drug a few days ago. Clinton was pre scribed cholesterol medicine in 2001 as he was leaving office. In a statement, Clinton’s wife. Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, thanked the hospi tal staff for helping the family through a trying time. “Bill, Chelsea and I stayed up pretty late last night talking, playing games and just being with each other,” the sena tor said. “These past few days have been quite an emotional roller-coaster for us.” She added: “The presij optimism and faith will him through the difficult and months ahead oftln have no doubt.” In bypass surgery, doctor move one or more blood vt from elsewhere in the body Clinton’s case, two arteries the chest and a vein froc leg and attach them to ies serving the heart, deti blood around blockages.

The study — the largest look yet at obesity among young chil dren — did not show the same results for boys, possibly be cause they generally get more exercise than girls. Still, Dr. Rebecca Unger, a pediatrician at Children’s Memo rial Hospital in Chicago, said the findings show the important role schools can play to prevent obe sity and its health ramifications.
