Washington - The US Vice President, Mr Dick Cheney, returned to work at the White House yesterday, two days after having a pager-sized type of pacemaker implanted in his chest to guard against episodes of a rapid heartbeat, White House officials said.
The officials said Mr Cheney had come to work at 7.45 a.m., his usual time. Mr Cheney (60), who has had four heart attacks since 1978, walked out of George Washington University Hospital just hours after the surgery on Saturday, waved to onlookers and said: "Feel good, sore shoulder, good shape."
