PTI demands CT coronary angiography for Imran at Shifa International Hospital
Condemns failure to conduct Imran’s recommended CT coronary angiography at PIMS
Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) has criticized authorities for failing to conduct a critical CT Coronary Angiography on former Prime Minister Imran Khan while he was in Shifa International Hospital. The demand comes after Imran was taken to PIMS on August 10 following complaints of heart palpitations and severe headaches. A cardiologist at PIMS had recommended the CT Coronary Angiography on August 1, citing the need to assess potential risks of cardiac complications due to Imran's age and prolonged isolation.
Central Secretary Information for PTI, Sheikh Waqas Akram, stated that when Imran arrived at PIMS, the recommended procedure was not performed, despite the presence of a functional CT scanner in the radiology department. Akram alleged that hospital officials claimed the required equipment was unavailable. PTI has demanded that the CT Coronary Angiography be conducted at Shifa International Hospital, under the supervision of independent specialists and with the involvement of Imran's personal physicians.
They have also called for the immediate disclosure of all relevant medical records, reports, and diagnostic results to Imran's family, personal medical team, and legal counsel.
