THE Prime Minister was warded on Friday evening for overnight observation at the West Shore Private Medical Hospital, Cocorite, after complaining of discomfort.
It’s almost two years since Dr Rowley last visited the United States for heart tests, after plaque was earlier found in one of his arteries. Plaque, which contains the fatty substance cholesterol, can build up in blood vessels, narrowing them and thus decreasing blood flow to the heart. This may lead to a heart attack or stroke.
