MILAN (Reuters) -Four-times Italian prime minister Silvio Berlusconi, 86, was being treated in intensive care on Wednesday in a cardiac unit at Milan's San Raffaele Hospital after suffering breathing problems.

The billionaire media tycoon, who made his fortune from commercial television, has suffered repeated bouts of ill-health in recent years and came out of hospital just last week.
