Former prime minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi was hospitalised on Saturday after suffering a heart attack and is currently receiving treatment at a private medical facility 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 premier had suffered a cardiac episode.
Medical examinations 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, though doctors have stated that his condition is now stable and out of danger. Further medical evaluation is under way, and he is expected to remain in the hospital for monitoring.
