After diagnostic tests, it was found that he suffered from a congenital condition, congenital heart disease, where the right artery supplying the heart had an abnormal bifurcation, i.e. it started from the wrong point and actually caused symptoms," the doctor said.

"He is hospitalized, in stable condition, in the intensive care unit where he will remain for the next 24 hours. He is expected to return soon to his home, where he will recover to return to his duties. He is expected to make a full recovery without any particular problems."
