Morocco's King, 56, Undergoes Successful Heart Surgery
"Mohammed took power at age 35 from his long-serving father Hassan II"
RABAT, MOROCCO - King Mohammed VI of Morocco has undergone successful
surgery in Rabat for a heart rhythm disorder, state news agency MAP
reported Monday.
The king, 56, was treated for a disorder known as atrial flutter, a
non-life-threatening condition in which the heart beats less
efficiently.
The king had similar surgery in 2018 in Paris to normalize his heart
rhythm. He had a recurrence of heart frequency problems so his doctors
recommended new surgery, which was carried out Sunday in the Royal
Palace Clinic in the Moroccan capital, MAP reported.
Mohammed took power at age 35 from his long-serving father Hassan II,
who died of a heart attack in 1999. Mohammed has presided over reforms
meant to open up politics, though ultimate power still rests with the
king. Under his watch, Morocco has also been closely allied with the
U.S. in its fight against terrorism.
