Cardinal Nicolas de Jesus Lopez Rodriguez is scheduled to undergo a heart bypass procedure today at the Cedimat Cardiology facility in Santo Domingo. Dr. Pedro Urena is the director of the cardiology section at Cedimat and Dr. Freddy Madera will head the cardiovascular surgery team carrying out the operation. According to newspaper accounts, the Cardinal is suffering from arteriosclerosis and will probably need two weeks to recover before he can return to his ecclesiastical duties. During a routine physical check-up, the Cardinal was found to have partial blockages in three of his arteries. Church leaders called upon the faithful to offer prayers for their Cardinal's rapid recovery.
