“Ihsanoglu is suffering from diabetes. He has had heart problems before but he has not taken them seriously. Now he’s had a hear attack. We provided immediate care to him as his blood vessel was completely blocked. We opened the vessel and placed a stent. He’s in the intensive care unit and is in stable condition,” said the cardiologist.
