President Lula da Silva, 64, experienced a high blood pressure attack before departing for the Davos economic summit and was taken to a Recife hospital.
His trip to Switzerland was canceled and he flew to his home near Sao Paulo. His doctor Cleber Ferreira said "(the attack) was caused by a series of factors ... stress and fatigue. It was a sporadic episode. The president does not have hypertension and his blood pressure is absolutely normal, it always has been. and that "for a person of his age, his blood pressure is enviable - 110 over 80."
