Former US Vice-President Dick Cheney was admitted into a Washington hospital for tests after feeling ill, according to a statement issued by his office.
The 69-year-old Republican leader has suffered five heart attacks in the past 32 years.
Spokesman Peter Long said Mr Cheney is expected to remain at George Washington University Hospital over the weekend.
It was not immediately clear if Mr Cheney's visit is related to his previous heart troubles.
Mr Cheney felt ill on Friday and visited his doctor at the hospital, who then advised him to stay for further tests.
The former vice-president suffered his last heart attack in February 2010.
Mr Cheney was vice-president under George W Bush.
