When news spread that Larry King had reportedly been hospitalized last week after experiencing cardiac arrest following an alleged heart attack, fans everywhere were understandably worried. Thankfully, a representative for the iconic TV host stepped in with a reassuring statement, confirming that Larry is doing well after dealing with angina, a condition that causes chest pain due to reduced blood flow to the heart. The message came as a relief to his devoted audience.

Here’s what the statement, posted to Larry’s official Twitter page on Monday, April 29, had to say: “On the morning of Thursday, April 23, Larry King was scheduled for an angioplasty. Before the procedure could take place, he experienced angina, which prompted him to go to the hospital earlier than planned for examination. His doctor successfully performed the angioplasty and inserted stents to reopen the bypass from his 1987 surgery. Larry has been recuperating in the hospital and is expected to be released soon.”

A Look Back at Larry’s Health Journey

For those who know Larry’s history, it’s no surprise that he’s faced his fair share of health challenges. At 85 years old, Larry has endured numerous health issues, including a heart attack in 1987 and a lung cancer diagnosis in 2017. His representative was quick to clarify that this latest incident wasn’t as severe as some reports suggested. “His doctors expect him to make a full recovery. To be clear, and contrary to published reports, his doctors say he did not have a heart attack and he did not go into cardiac arrest.”
