BNP Chairperson Khaleda Zia’s condition has still not stabilized and her condition is still critical, her physicians said on Monday.
“We will be working on two more heart blockages after 72 hours of observations,” said Professor Dr AZM Zahid Hossain, Khaleda’s personal physician.
He made the announcement after a meeting of the medical board formed for the treatment of the former prime minister at Evercare Hospital.
Khaleda is still under the observation of doctors in the Coronary Care Unit (CCU) at Evercare Hospital in Dhaka.
Earlier on Sunday, three blockages were found in the arteries of the BNP chairperson through a coronary angiogram test conducted on Saturday, Zahid Hossain said.
Zahid, also a BNP vice chairman, said Khaleda suffered a heart attack due to around a 95% blockage in her left artery. “A stent has been placed there by removing the blockage.”
He added doctors will take proper measures in this regard after observing her condition as she has chronic kidney and liver problems.
Khaleda, was admitted to Evercare Hospital in the early hours of Saturday as she suddenly fell ill. A ring (stent) was placed in the main artery of her heart on Saturday afternoon.
Khaleda, a 76-year-old former prime minister, has long been suffering from various ailments, including liver cirrhosis, arthritis, diabetes, kidney, lung and eye problems.
