" WASHINGTON (CBS) ― Doctors administered an electrical shock Monday to Vice President Dick Cheney's heart to restore it to a normal rhythm.

The procedure was declared a success and Cheney left the hospital for home.

Cheney, who has a history of heart problems, spent about 2½ hours at George Washington University Hospital after experiencing an irregular heartbeat early in the day.

The condition was detected when Cheney was seen by doctors around 7 a.m. at the White House for a lingering cough from a cold. He remained at work throughout the day, joining President Bush in meetings with Mideast leaders."
