Kelsey Grammer has been hospitalized again for heart-related troubles. In early June he had a heart attack that has variously been labeled as minor and something that almost killed him – so it’s a little difficult to know just how severe the initial damage was. According to reports, Grammer felt faint and/or had an irregular heartbeat. Apparently it’s hard to get a clear and accurate account of what’s gone on, depending on the source. Grammer is being kept in the hospital for monitoring for a couple days, along with some medication changes.

A little less than two months after Kelsey Grammer suffered a heart attack in Hawaii, the veteran actor admitted himself into a New York hospital for an irregular heartbeat. The actor was in town to promote his new film, Swing Vote, when “he felt a little faint, so he checked himself into the hospital,” the actor’s publicist, Stan Rosenfield, tells E! News.

Rosenfield added that it was likely Grammer’s medication, which he has been taking since his June heart attack, that was to blame.

“Doctors felt a medication adjustment was necessary, so they are keeping him there for a day or so just to monitor.”

As a result of his unexpected hospital stay, the 53-year-old Emmy winner will likely skip several planned TV appearances. He was originally scheduled to guest on Late Night With Conan O’Brien tonight and Live With Regis and Kelly tomorrow.

On Thursday Celebitchy wrote about Grammer’s People interview in which he talked about his heart attack. His phrasing makes it sound like his reps originally said it was something minor, even though they had to restart his heart twice. Hopefully that’s not the case this time, and it really is a minor situation that can be corrected with a medication change.

Kelsey Grammar, 53, was hanging out in Hawaii paddle boating with his wife when he suffered a heart attack. It’s been nearly three months and he’s talking about his health crisis and why he thinks he had a heart attack at a relatively young age. Although Grammar’s representative told the press at the time that his heart attack was mild, he admitted to Entertainment Tonight a few weeks afterward that he had almost died and that his heart had stopped entirely.

Grammar explains that he thinks he suffered the health crisis due to stress over his television series, Back to You with Patricia Heaton, being canceled. As for how he’s coping now, he said he’s taking it easy and is eating better and taking medication:

Kelsey Grammer, who suffered a mild heart attack seven weeks ago, says pressure from his canceled sitcom Back to You contributed to his health problems.

“It was a very stressful time for me, and a surprise to me [that it was canceled],” Grammer, 53, said Wednesday while promoting his drama-comedy, Swing Vote, in L.A. “But you know, everything that doesn’t kill us – which it almost did – makes us stronger.”

Back to You, costarring Patricia Heaton, was canceled in May by Fox after one year, despite respectable ratings.

“Not happy about it,” says Grammer. “I had a heart attack, maybe you heard. I was not happy about it.”

But now, he says, “I think things are going to be fine, thank you. I’m doing fine. It’s OK.”

Asked if the health scare changed his lifestyle, Grammer said, “Oh, not a ton. Just watch your diet a little bit, take some pills.”

A sitcom veteran who has Cheers and Frasier to his credit, Grammer plans to take more time out for family, and is thinking about films.

“Oh gosh, I hope so,” he said. “You can only do so many a year. I have other things that matter to me, like my wife and family.”

Grammar and Heaton were widely reported to be feuding on the set of Back to You, and that may have contributed to the demise of the series. He is not my favorite actor and seems like he has a stick up his butt most of the time, but there’s a valuable lesson in his comments about why he had a heart attack. Tim Russert died at 58 from a heart attack at a time when he was eating better and exercising and had just returned from a vacation to Italy with his family.

Heart attacks are “are the leading cause of death for both men and women all over the world” according to the World Health Organization. You can prevent a heart attack through regular exercise, a healthy diet, and by keeping stress at a minimum. It’s important to keep perspective about what’s important in life and not worry too much about work and the things you can’t change. Years of stress can really take a toll on your heart and no matter how old you are or if you’re a man or a woman you should try to reach a healthy balance in life. I know that’s a lesson I need to learn too.

Actor Kelsey Grammer, 53, had a heart attack on Saturday while paddle boarding with his wife. According to his rep, it was mild and he’s doing alright now. Grammer is expected to be released within a couple days.

ENTERTAINMENT TONIGHT has confirmed that Kelsey Grammer suffered a mild heart attack Saturday and is now resting comfortably in a Honolulu hospital. He will be released from the hospital early this week.

Grammer was immediately taken an area hospital where it was determined that he had a mild heart attack. He was then flown to another hospital in Honolulu.

It sounds like he’s doing all right, luckily. Often when people have a relatively mild heart attack at a young(ish) age like Grammer, it encourages them to become really proactive about their heart health, and ends up being a great turning point in their lives, instead of something really terrible. Hopefully that’ll be the case here.

Grammer’s Fox sitcom Back to You was canceled after just one low-rated season. He’s been added to the cast of an upcoming ABC show that looks somewhat better.

The briefly unemployed and universally castable Kelsey Grammer, coming off just one season on Fox’s low-rated Back to You, has snatched up another prime-time gig, this time starring in an ABC comedy pilot.

Roman’s Empire centers on a young guy who gets dumped by his girlfriend but can’t seem to extricate himself from her overbearing billionaire family, the Prettys—in particular, from the clan’s eccentric patriarch, played by Grammer.

The sitcom is based on the same named British series and began production over the holiday weekend. Ashton Kutcher’s Katalyst Films produces the pilot.

Clearly Grammer clearly has a lot on his plate, and it looks like his career could very well be picking up again. Hopefully he’ll be able to get his health back on track and star in another good show.
