Cheney treated at hospital for blood clot

Vice president experienced ‘discomfort’ following overseas trip
WASHINGTON - Doctors discovered a blood clot in Vice President Dick Cheney’s left leg Monday, a condition that could be fatal if left untreated.

The 66-year-old Cheney, who has a history of heart problems, will be treated with blood-thinning medication for several months, said spokeswoman Lea Anne McBride.

She said Cheney visited his doctor’s office in Washington after feeling minor discomfort in his calf. An ultrasound showed the blood clot - called a deep venous thrombosis - in his left lower leg.
