Four-times Italian prime minister Silvio Berlusconi, 86, was being treated in intensive care on Wednesday in a cardiac unit at Milan's San Raffaele Hospital after suffering breathing problems.
The billionaire media tycoon, who made his fortune from commercial television, has suffered repeated bouts of ill-health in recent years and came out of hospital just last week.
A source at the San Raffaele hospital confirmed that Berlusconi was being treated in the intensive care section of its cardiothoracic wing and would remain in hospital overnight. His eldest daughter Marina Berlusconi and his brother Paolo Berlusconi visited him during the day, Italy's ANSA news agency reported.
Berlusconi built Italy's biggest commercial TV network and gained an international profile as owner of European soccer champions AC Milan before entering politics in 1994 when the previous political class was brought down by a corruption scandal.
