CHAMBERLAIN OUT OF HOSPITAL

Basketball Hall of Fame center Wilt Chamberlain was released from the hospital Saturday, two days after checking in with a slightly irregular heart beat, his doctor said.

Chamberlain, 55, left Centinela Hospital Medical Center on Saturday morning, wearing a heart monitoring device, said Dr. Ellen Goudlock, his personal physician.

The doctor said the monitor would remain in place until Chamberlain returns to the hospital this week for additional cardiovascular tests.

"He felt so well, it was very hard to keep him in the hospital once his arrhythmia was stabilized," Goudlock said.

Chamberlain remains on medication to control his arrhythmia and high blood pressure, Goudlock said.
