Khaleda has two more blockages in artery: Dr Zahid

BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia has been kept under a close observation for 72 hours as she has two more blockages and some other complications in her heart, said her physician Dr AZM Zahid Hossain on Sunday, reports UNB.

He said three blockages were found inside the BNP chairperson's heart through a coronary angiogram test on Saturday as per the advice of the medical board formed at Evercare Hospital for her treatment.

Zahid said Khaleda suffered a heart attack due to around a 95 per cent blockage in her left side artery. "A stent has been placed there by removing the blockage."

He said doctors are unwilling to make any comment on her current health condition until 72 hours are passed. "She has been now there at CCU under close observation of the doctors."
