Tehreek-e-Insaf Demands CT Coronary Angiography for Imran Khan

Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) on Sunday demanded that former prime minister and party founder Imran Khan undergo a CT Coronary Angiography at Shifa International Hospital, condemning the failure to conduct the recommended cardiac test at the Pakistan Institute of Medical Sciences (PIMS), Express Tribune reported. 

Central Secretary Information Sheikh Waqas Akram said a government medical board examined Imran on August 10 following complaints of heart palpitations and



severe headaches, according to the news report.

He said a cardiologist at PIMS had recommended a CT Coronary Angiography on August 1 due to fluctuating blood pressure, restlessness and potential risks of cardiac complications, given Imran's age and prolonged isolation. 

"Even the government's own doctors considered this diagnostic test medically necessary," Akram said, alleging that when Imran was taken to PIMS, the recommended procedure was not performed.
