Dangerfield had the heart attack on Thursday, said publicist Warren Cowan. Dangerfield will undergo an X-ray of the blood vessels on Monday, Cowan said. Doctors then will determine what treatment he requires.
The comedian's wife, Joan, expects Dangerfield to be back home by midweek, Cowan said.
Dangerfield kept his sense of humour. Cowan said that when Dangerfield entered the emergency room with his wife, he asked the heart specialist: "Who gave me this present?"
