President Asif Ali Zardari of Pakistan is thought to have had a mini stroke with no lasting harm. It has been reported that doctors in Dubai have diagnosed a Transient Ischemic Attack -- caused by a blockage that prevents blood flow to a part of the brain, producing stroke-like symptoms for an hour or two. On Friday he was described as "lucid".| So the stroke actually improved his well-being? |
Zardari, who has a history of high blood pressure, was flown to Dubai on Tuesday. He had been complaining of not feeling well and agreed to travel for tests. His spokesman said, "More tests are also likely to be conducted. He was in the intensive care unit but has now been moved out."
