"This morning (Israel's former) President (Shimon) Peres experienced some chest pain, nothing in the great degree of severity. Just to be on the safe side he was taken immediately to the hospital and here he was taken to the cardiac catheterisation suite where he underwent a cardiac catheterisation. One of the coronary arteries was found severely stenosed. It underwent a dilatation with a stent and his condition is stable now. He's very well and he is awake, he was awake all the time and he is only worried about the continuation of his schedule, and he is insisting on going on to do some of the schedule prepared for today. His condition is excellent now, and it's a very mild myocardial infarction and we expect him to stay in the hospital for a few days under our observation and then to carry on with his daily activities."

STORYLINE:
Israel's 92-year-old former President Shimon Peres suffered a "mild" heart attack on Thursday but was in "excellent" condition following a heart procedure, his personal physician said.
Peres was rushed to a hospital near Tel Aviv from his home on Thursday morning after he fell ill with chest pains and a check-up found an irregular heart rate, his spokeswoman Ayelet Frisch told Israeli Army Radio.
His personal physician, who is also his son-in-law, Raphi Walden, said Peres had a "mild myocardial infarction" but that "his condition is excellent" following a successful cardiac catheterisation.
Peres won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1994 following the signing of the Oslo peace accords with the Palestinians a year earlier, a prize he shared with Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin, who was later assassinated, and Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat.
The prize earned him his stature abroad as a revered statesman.
Peres completed his seven year term as president in 2014 and remains in the public eye.
He is still active through his non-governmental Peres Centre for Peace, which promotes coexistence between Arabs and Jews and peace and development in the Middle East.
