Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has been fitted with a pacemaker and is under observation in hospital.
The procedure on the 73-year-old took place at Sheba Medical Centre in Tel HaShomer, his office said.
“The implant went smoothly without any complications,” said Roy Beinart, who manages the arrhythmia centre at Sheba Medical Center.
“He is not in a life-threatening condition and he feels great and is returning to his daily routine.”
Mr Netanyahu was summoned urgently on Saturday evening after a “temporary arrhythmia” was detected, doctors said.
In a statement released by his office on Saturday, Mr Netanyahu said: “A week ago I was fitted with a monitoring device. That device beeped this evening and said I must have a pacemaker and that I must do this already tonight.
“I feel great, but I need to listen to my doctors.”

A week ago, Mr Netanyahu was rushed to hospital after suffering from a dizzy spell, due to spending the day in 40C (104F) heat.
A “preliminary assessment” by doctors suggested he had suffered from dehydration, but later test results showed he was “in complete cardiac health”, and Mr Netanyahu’s office said he was feeling “very good”.
March on Jerusalem
Meanwhile, tens of thousands of protesters marched on the main highway into Jerusalem on Saturday evening in a last-ditch show of force aimed at blocking Mr Netanyahu’s judicial overhaul.

Protesters block Tel Aviv’s stock exchange
The arrival of the marchers turned the city’s main entrance into a sea of blue and white Israeli flags as they completed the last leg of a four-day, 45-mile (70km) trek from Tel Aviv to Israel’s parliament.
The demonstrators joined forces with hundreds of other protesters and planned to camp outside the Knesset, ahead of an expected vote on Monday.
Mr Netanyahu and his far-right allies claim the overhaul is needed to curb what they say are the excessive powers of unelected judges.
However, their critics say the plan will destroy the country’s system of checks and balances and put it on the path towards authoritarian rule.
