KUALA LUMPUR: Norway’s King Harald had a temporary pacemaker implanted on Saturday at a hospital in Malaysia after falling ill while on holiday there, the Norwegian royal household said.
“The pacemaker was implanted due to a low heart rate. The decision was made earlier today, and the procedure was successful,” the palace said in a statement, adding that he is doing well under the circumstances but still requires rest.
The procedure should make the journey home safer, likely in a couple of days, it said.
The 87-year-old monarch was on a private holiday in the South-East Asian country when he fell ill with an infection earlier this week.
