Former Prime Minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi was hospitalized on Saturday after suffering a heart attack and is currently undergoing treatment at a private medical center in the federal capital.
According to Express News, Abbasi was taken to Al-Shifa Hospital after complaining of severe chest pain at his Islamabad residence. Doctors later confirmed that the former prime minister had suffered a cardiac episode.
Medical tests revealed blockages in two of his coronary arteries, hospital sources said. Cardiologists then inserted two stents to restore adequate blood flow.
Abbasi remains under observation, although doctors have declared that his condition is now stable and out of danger. Further medical evaluation is underway and he is expected to remain in hospital for follow-up.
