'Buffy' star Nicholas Brendon 'doing fine' after dealing with heart issue

"Buffy the Vampire Slayer" star Nicholas Brendon, best known for playing the titular heroine's pal Xander in the TV series, was hospitalized recently after suffering another cardiac incident, according to his sister.

The actor, 51, was rushed to a hospital about two weeks ago because of tachycardia, a condition that makes the heart beat abnormally fast, his sister wrote Tuesday on Brendon's official Instagram account. She also shared images of the actor getting medical attention in an ambulance and what appears to be a hospital.

"Nicky sends his love and wanted me to apologize that he hasn't been going live as much lately and to give everyone an update," she wrote. "Nicky is doing fine now but he had to be rushed to emergency about two weeks ago because of a cardiac incident (tachycardia/arrhythmia)."
