Officials at Providence St. Vincent Medical Center declined to provide details of Salazar's departure or his condition.
Salazar, 48, collapsed while last week coaching a group of distance runners at the Nike campus in Beaverton, outside Portland. Doctors inserted a stent and determined that he had suffered a heart attack.
"He's not relinquished any of his coaching," said Kara Goucher, who placed second in the 10,000 meters last month at the USA Track & Field Championships. Alberto's doing great. It's made it easier on us that he's doing so well. We were a little nervous, but he's bounced right back. That's a testament to him."
Salazar is a University of Oregon graduate and a two-time U.S. Olympian. He set six U.S. records and one world record. He is a longtime Nike employee and consultant who trains elite distance runners.
