Police Commissioner Henry Greene is currently a patient at the Caribbean Heart Institute having suffered heart related complications.
Reports are that Greene developed a breathing problem some time on Friday and was rushed to St Joseph’s Mercy Hospital before being referred to CHI. He was admitted on Friday afternoon and was found to be suffering from congestive heart failure, according to an attending physician.
Congestive heart failure is a condition in which the heart cannot pump enough blood to the body’s other organs. This can result from narrowed arteries that supply blood to the heart muscle and lead to coronary artery disease and even high blood pressure.
The failing heart could keep working but not as efficiently as it should. People with heart failure are usually unable to exert themselves because they become short of breath and tired.
This newspaper understands that the Commissioner was treated with heart medication which has since alleviated the problem to some extent.
Up to yesterday he was resting comfortably at CHI. He is expected to remain there for the next few days. According to attending Cardiologist, Dr Ghansham Singh, the Commissioner is listed as stable.
