On Saturday, the Prime Minister underwent an angiogram and angioplasty at West Shore Medical Hospital after experiencing some “discomfort” on Friday.
The medical history of Dr Rowley, 71, has shown evidence of arterial plaque. The discovery was made in 2016 when he had tests in the US for prostate cancer.
The fact that he had both procedures in one day yesterday indicates that the condition was severe, according to a doctor, who spoke on the condition of anonymity.
