Israel's former president and prime minister, Shimon Peres, has returned to hospital 10 days after he was admitted following a light heart attack.
An ambulance was called to his home on Sunday after Peres once again experienced chest pains, Israel's Channel 2 reports.
The 92-year-old underwent an angioplasty on January 14, during which a severely narrowed coronary artery was found but quickly and successfully opened.
He was released from hospital on Tuesday.
Peres served as prime minister for eight months after the assassination of premier Yitzhak Rabin in 1995.
He also served a brief term between 1984 and 1986, under a rotation agreement with Yitzhak Shamir.
The two formed a unity government, with Peres as the head of the Labour Party and Shamir as the head of the centre-right Likud party.
He later was elected Israel's ninth president between 2007 and 2014.
Widely respected abroad as a "warrior for peace" he shared the 1994 Nobel Peace Prize with Rabin and Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat for signing the 1993 interim Oslo peace accords.
