MAKKAH — A medical team at Makkah-based King Abdullah Medical City (KAMC) has saved the life of a female pilgrim in her seventies after she suffered an acute heart attack and myocardial infarction.

The Ministry of Health (MoH) reported that the patient suffered from angina pectoris due to an acute clot in the coronary arteries with myocardial infarction.

The medical team performed an urgent cardiac catheterization operation, through which it was revealed that there was a blockage in three coronary arteries.

She was admitted to cardiac care for critical cases until her condition stabilized. She recovered in preparation for completing her Hajj rituals with good health. — SPA
