Bernie Sanders to go home Saturday as he recovers from heart attack

Sen. Bernie Sanders will be returning to his home in Burlington, Vermont, on Saturday as he recovers from a heart attack.

The independent senator, 78, a candidate for the Democratic nomination for president, was taken to Desert Springs Hospital Medical Center in Paradise, Nevada, on Tuesday for chest pains.

He was treated for what his campaign described at the time as a blockage in one artery.

But a statement from Sanders' doctors released through the campaign on Friday said Sanders "was diagnosed with a myocardial infarction," a medical term for a heart attack.

"I'm feeling so much better," Sanders said in a video posted Friday to his Twitter account. "I just want to thank all of you for the love and warm wishes that you sent to me."

He will be off the 2020 campaign trail for the next several days as he recovers, his team told NBC News. He is expected to take part in the next Democratic presidential debate on Oct. 15.

You're 78. You'd be 80 by the time you reached the Oval Office -- IF you won, which I don't think you will. Please focus on your recovery and overall health. Think of the consequences. Think of your family.

Your message will still inspire people.
