Pakistan's Abid undergoes second procedure after heart condition diagnosis

-

(Reuters) - Pakistan opener Abid Ali underwent a second procedure yesterday after he was diagnosed with acute coronary syndrome, the country's cricket board (PCB) said.

Acute coronary syndrome is associated with a sudden reduction or blockage of blood flow to the heart.

Abid was diagnosed with the heart condition after he complained of chest pain during a domestic first-class match on

Tuesday. "Abid underwent a second procedure today. The procedure was successful­ly completed and he is recovering," the PCB said on Twitter.

"PCB medical team is liaising with Interventi­onal Cardiologi­st regarding further treatment and rehabilita­tion. Abid is currently stable."

The 34-year-old has played 16 test matches and six one-day internatio­nals for Pakistan.
