Dr. Adnan added that once the angiogram is conducted, it is likely that Prof Redwood will recommend a procedure for the heart and carotid artery. However, he cautioned that before undergoing any procedure, it is crucial to first treat Nawaz Sharif’s immune disorder.
Dr. Adnan added, “It is crucial to treat his thrombocytopenia with a haematologist before undergoing any surgical procedure. The angiogram is most likely to be conducted on Thursday. Once the PET scan is conducted, we will have a clearer image of his hematological issues and diagnosis. Only then can we predict the course of the cardiac procedure.”

Nasir Butt is accused to have recorded the controversial video of Judge Arshad Malik, which first emerged in the media on July 6, when the PML-N Vice President Maryam Nawaz called a press conference and alleged that the judge was “blackmailed” into ruling against Nawaz Sharif.
PML-N accuses Judge Arshad Malik of convicting Nawaz Sharif under pressure, however, the judge claims that he was blackmailed by PML-N workers. Earlier in July, the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) conducted a raid on Nasir But’s home, and claimed that it had recovered some “important documents”.
