Nawaz Sharif may undergo heart surgery

LONDON: Former Prime Minister and Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) leader Nawaz Sharif may suffer from cardiac arrest after it appeared that his cardiovascular veins have squeezed, ARY NEWS reported.

According to hospital sources in London, Nawaz Sharif is under continuous threat of a cardiac arrest as he is suffering from angina pain due to complications in his cardiovascular veins.

The sources said that the PML-N leader underwent medical tests at the London hospital but the test reports would only be received after the Christmas holidays.

They further said that since there is a contraction reported in a cardiovascular vein, limiting the blood supply to the heart, therefore, he might undergo Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI, formerly known as angioplasty with stent).

If this process does not succeed then he might undergo a heart surgery, they said.
