Ramallah hospital: Abbas undergoing heart test

An official at Ramallah hospital says Abbas will undergo a heart test after being hospitalized.

The official says Abbas, 81, will undergo a cardiac catheterization, a procedure in which a thin tube is inserted into a blood vessel to examine the strength of his heart.

Abbas hospitalized earlier today after feeling “tired,” according to a Palestinian official.

Both officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they are not authorized to discuss Abbas’s condition with the media.
