Mir Hossein Mousavi received routine medical treatment at Tehran Heart Center on Tuesday July 3rd, 2013, accompanied by his wife Zahra Rahnavard and a number of security agents. While reiterating that the routine examination should have been performed two months ago given the standard medical protocol for patients suffering from a cardiac condition, Kaleme reports that Mousavi was in good physical condition and the results of the tests performed on him were normal. The cardiac specialists treating Mousavi insisted however that he be admitted to the Heart Center for further tests since he was suffering from dizziness and low blood pressure; a request that was reportedly denied by the security agents present.

The report also indicates that Zahra Rahnavard complained to security agents about being denied visitation with her daughters in the presence of hospital personnel.

Mir Hossein Mousavi was first transferred to Tehran Heart Center under extremely tight security measures following a sudden heart condition in September of last year. Mousavi who was suffering from extreme chest pain as a result of clogged arteries, underwent an angioplasty at the time and was transferred back to illegal house arrest less than 24 hours following his surgery.

Hospital personnel and physicians treating Mousavi have repeatedly stated that routine medical protocols for patients suffering from cardiac conditions have not been followed in Mousavi’s case. It goes without saying that Mousavi did not have a heart condition prior to his illegal house arrest.

Mousavi’s family is highly concerned for his health and wellbeing, particularly given that his medical records have not been made available to his family and personal physicians and both he and his wife Zahra Rahnavard continue to be kept in isolation with no communication what so ever with their daughters.
