Fadillah recovering well after double bypass heart surgery, says IJN
The National Heart Institute says the deputy prime minister is now in a general ward and completed 2.8km of cycling exercise a day after surgery.
Deputy Prime Minister Fadillah Yusof is recuperating well following his double bypass heart surgery on August 12, according to the National Heart Institute (IJN). The surgery was recommended after a coronary angiogram, which doctors performed on July 29. IJN officials reported that he has been transferred from the intensive care unit to a general ward.
Yesterday, Fadillah completed a 2.8km cycling exercise under the supervision of the IJN's clinical team. The institute's CEO, Dr Ezani Taib, who was part of the surgical team, expressed satisfaction with the deputy prime minister's progress. He stated that the treatment and recovery have proceeded as planned and that his condition continues to improve as expected by the medical team.
Fadillah, who is 64, was admitted to the IJN on July 28 and underwent the coronary angiogram the following day. A multidisciplinary medical team subsequently determined that coronary artery bypass grafting was the most appropriate course of treatment.
