Elizabeth Taylor tweets about heart procedure
LOS ANGELES (AP) - October 6, 2009 The 77-year-old actress tells her followers on Twitter that she
is to undergo a "very new" procedure to improve heart function
that "involves repairing my leaky valve using a clip device"
rather than open-heart surgery.
"Any prayers you happen to have lying around I would dearly
appreciate," Taylor wrote Tuesday, adding that she plans to inform
her 155,944 Twitter followers when the procedure is complete. She
did not say when or where she is having treatment.
A representative for Taylor did not immediately return an e-mail
seeking comment.
