He had two stents placed in his coronary artery in 2010.

He decided to adopt a largely vegetarian diet, which helped him lose weight and improve his health.

Clinton returned repeatedly to the campaign trail, often supporting Democratic candidates. This included Hillary Clinton's unsuccessful 2008 bid for the presidency. In 2016, Hillary Clinton was seeking the White House as Democratic nominee. Her husband, a grandfather who was nearing 70, returned to the campaign trail.
