"While at home on Sunday evening, I experienced the sudden onset of concerning medical symptoms. I immediately called 911 and was transported by ambulance to Mercy General Hospital, where I was ultimately treated for a heart attack," Ose said in a statement posted to Twitter. "While I'm told I should expect a full recovery, additional procedures and potentially surgery are required, and it has become clear that I must now focus my attention on rehabilitation and healing."
Ose served multiple terms in Congress representing the Sacramento area.
