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