Washington ( CNN ) -- State Department analysts raised questions about the psychological state and health of Argentine President Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner , according to a December 2009 cable recently published by WikiLeaks . The analysts were curious about the `` interpersonal dynamics '' of the president and her husband Nestor Kirchner , who was also his wife 's immediate predecessor as president . The cable , which was sent from the secretary of state 's office and signed by Hillary Clinton , said that the analysts had `` a much more solid understanding of Nestor Kirchner 's style and personality than we do of Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner , '' and wanted to develop `` a more well-rounded view '' of the then-president 's personality . Among the questions put to the U.S. Embassy in Buenos Aires was a series about President Fernandez de Kirchner 's mental state and health : how she managed her nerves and anxiety , how stress affected her behavior toward advisers and decision-making , whether she was on medications , and how she calmed down when distressed . The cable also asked about President Fernandez de Kirchner 's approach to dealing with problems , and whether she shared her husband 's `` adversarial view of politics . '' It also asked about how the Argentine first couple divided up their day and on what issues each of them took the lead or deferred to the other . The 2009 cable also asked about the health of former President Kirchner . He died of an apparent heart attack in October . President Fernandez de Kirchner was elected to office in October of 2007 , at the same time then-Sen. and former first lady Clinton was seeking the Democratic nomination for the 2008 presidential election in the United States .
