Lahore: On Wednesday, Doctors informed that Pakistan's jailed former prime minister Nawaz Sharif's condition is "very serious" after heart complications and he should be shifted to the hospital without any delay. Sharif, 69, who is serving seven-year imprisonment in a Lahore jail, was rushed to a hospital from Kot Lakhpat jail on Tuesday after he complained of heart-related complications. 

While He was later discharged from the hospital and taken back to jail following medical tests. Doctors of the Punjab Institute of Cardiology Lahore, where his medical tests were conducted, said Sharif's condition was "not very serious", but suggested  "aggressive medication" and regular medical follow-ups to avoid cardiac complications. Sharif's cardiologist Adnan Khan termed his condition as "very serious and said he should be shifted to a hospital without any delay. Khan said that "Nawaz Sharif's treatment at the jail is not possible because of his heart complications. He should be shifted to hospital forthwith so that he is properly taken care of,"

According to medical reports."Even a special medical board that earlier examined Mr Sharif had suggested shifting him to the hospital for treatment but the government did not heed to the suggestion," he said. Sharif's stress thallium test -- a nuclear imaging test that shows how well blood flows into one's heart -- suggests "post stress LV pump/contraction 56 per cent which is almost normal", The report says that the left ventricle, the main pumping chamber of the heart, is damaged on the lower left wall, it said.  Expressing concern about Sharif's health, his daughter Maryam tweeted: "My only source of information on what is happening to my father is the media only."

Sharif's brother Shahbaz Sharif asked the government to provide the best healthcare facilities to the three-time prime minister. A special medical board that examined Sharif in jail last week observed "he is not completely well" as more investigations (tests) are required before suggesting treatment for him.

However, Sharif was shifted to the Kot Lakhpat jail on December 25, a day after he was sentenced by the accountability court in Islamabad to seven years' imprisonment in the Al-Azizia Steel Mills case. A disqualification of 10 years from holding any public office is part of the sentences awarded to the three times prime minister of the country.
