The Royal Palace says Jordan’s Queen Rania has undergone a non-surgical procedure in New York to correct an irregular heart beat.
The 40-year-old queen accompanied her husband, King Abdallah, who attended the UN General Assembly meetings in New York. She also attended separate functions, including a panel on empowering girls.
“The procedure is a catheterization through a vein to the heart. It is used to treat abnormal heart rhythms, or premature ventricular contractions, which is a common condition,” the palace statement said. “During the procedure, an electric current is used to stop the disturbance of electrical flow through the heart, thus restoring a healthy heart rhythm.”
A palace spokesman said: “The procedure went very smoothly and her majesty is well and in good spirits. She will remain in hospital for two nights while she recuperates.” The queen is expected to fly home later this week. Rania is to remain in a New York hospital for two nights to recuperate and will return home later in the week.
