Bill Clinton seen leaving airport with defibrillator, sparking health fears

Following the surgery, Clinton gave an exclusive interview to Diane Sawyer, which aired on "Good Morning America." Then 58 years old, he urged people with a family history of heart disease to get tested and admitted he had ignored warning signs. He also admitted to missing the warning signs.

Years later, in 2010, he had another heart surgery in which he received coronary stents after experiencing chest pain. He then began embracing a near-vegan diet. Animal rights advocacy group PETA named Clinton its "2010 Person of the Year" because the former president used his influence to promote the benefits of plant-based eating.

The former president has also experienced more recent health challenges, including a 2021 hospitalization for a urinary tract infection (UTI), a battle with COVID-19 in 2022 and another hospitalization for the flu.

Fox News Digital has reached out to Clinton's team for comment outside working hours. Fox News Digital also contacted Katz's Delicatessen to verify Clinton's order but did not receive a response in time for publication.
