Peres' wife in stable condition after suffering massive heart failure

By Yuval Yoaz , Haaretz Correspondent

Sonia Peres, the wife of Vice Premier Shimon Peres, was rushed to Sheba Medical Center in Tel Aviv late Thursday after suffering heart failure.

Doctors said early Saturday that though her life had been in danger over the weekend, her condition was improving and she was stable.

A medical team was summoned to the couple's apartment late Thursday, after Sonia Peres, 81, complained she felt very ill. After first aid was administered by paramedics, Peres was rushed to Sheba Hospital by ambulance and treated in the cardiology wing of the intensive care unit.

Peres' heart failure appears to be a pre-existing condition which took a turn for the worse on Thursday. Upon arriving at the hospital, she was sedated so that the medical staff could better treat her. Peres woke up Saturday morning and a significant improvement in her condition was reported.

While Shimon Peres has been a prominent figure in the Israeli political world for almost five decades, his wife has largely stayed out of the spotlight.
