Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, who learned of her husband’s hospitalization for chest pains while in Washington, D.C., arrived at the New York hospital where he was being treated shortly before 7:30 p.m.

Clinton entered the hospital through a side door and did not stop to speak to reporters who had gathered at New York Presbyterian Hospital in Harlem, where a procedure was underway to insert stents in one of the former president’s arteries.

Bill Clinton, 63, was “in good spirits” after the procedure, said Douglas Band, counselor to the former chief executive.

The couple’s daughter, Chelsea, was reported to have arrived earlier at the hospital. Aides to Hillary Clinton said she planned to take a previously scheduled trip to the Persian Gulf starting Friday but could delay it, according to the Associated Press.
