Former President Bill Clinton has been hospitalized in New York City, possibly with a heart issue, according to at least three news sources.

ABC News, CNN and The New York Times reported the news on their Web sites a few moments ago.

The New York Times said it was told by a White House spokesman that Clinton was taken to a New York hospital with chest pains.

The former president had bypass surgery in 2004 in to deal with clogged arteries. In recent weeks, he has been working on relief efforts for Haiti after its devasting earthquake.
