Pakistan’s Musharraf wants heart treatment abroad --- ISLAMABAD — Former Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf wants to leave the country to undergo medical treatment for a heart condition abroad, defense lawyers in his high treason trial said Friday. -- The military hospital treating Musharraf submitted a second report Friday about his medical condition to the court hearing his case. It also was given to his lawyers, but was not made public. -- Two defense lawyers said the board recommended Musharraf urgently undergo an angiography — a medical imaging technique used to visualize the blood vessels of the heart to look for heart disease. One of the lawyers said Musharraf had doubts about the quality of medical care he could receive in Pakistan. -- The lawyers spoke on condition of anonymity as the report had not been made public by the court. --- Prosecutor Akram Sheikh said Musharraf simply wants to leave the country and railed against the retired general for not trusting the military hospital treating him. Sheikh called Musharraf “hale and hearty.” - More, Associated Press, at: http://www.washingtonpost.com/world/asia_pacific/pakistani-shiites-agree-to-bury-victims-of-bombing/2014/01/23/8b247ff2-84b0-11e3-a273-6ffd9cf9f4ba_story.html
