Henry Kissinger in New York hospital after heart attack

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Former Secretary of State and Nobel Peace Prize winner Henry Kissinger has suffered a "limited" heart attack but is doing well and is expected to recover, hospital officials said Thursday.

Kissinger, 77, who served as Secretary of State under President Richard Nixon and his successor Gerald Ford, suffered what doctors called a "limited heart attack" and was admitted to New York Weill Cornell Medical Center of New York Presbyterian Hospital on Wednesday, the hospital said.

"He is is doing well and is expected to be in the hospital for a few days," said hospital administrator Abby Jacobsen.

As secretary of state, German-born Kissinger shaped policies behind major world events of the 1970s, including the Vietnam peace agreement, the reopening of U.S.-Chinese relations, growing contact between Israel and the Arab world and U.S.-Soviet arms control talks.

Kissinger, who underwent bypass surgery in 1982, shared the Nobel Peace Prize with North Vietnam's Le Duc Tho for his work on the Paris peace accords reached in 1973.
