Musharraf's medical report could be of any 70-yr-old army man, says Pak expert

Former Pakistani President General Pervez Musharraf's medical reports have been claimed to be not pointing towards a heart attack as it could be of any 70-year-old army man.

A leading heart surgeon said that the present report is "inconclusive" of any serious medical conditions for Musharraf, the Express Tribune reports.

Another cardiology consultant said that only a proper, invasive angiography would clarify the extent of the disease that Musharraf is suffering from, but the present report just concludes that he was "normal."

The consultant further said that only if the angiogram confirms that he has severe narrowing in the left main/proximal LAD artery, then there were high chances of leading to a fatal heart attack.

The experts said that the initial examination revealed normal blood pressure and a slightly low pulse.

Musharraf's health report assessed by the Armed Forces Institute of Cardiology (AFIC) showed he was suffering from nine specific ailments.

The report also stated that Musharraf had recurrent discomfort in his left shoulder joint, as well as pain and stiffness in the lower back.

His sleep was disturbed because of an enlarged prostate.
