CAIRO (Reuters) - Egypt's former first lady Suzanne Mubarak will have her heart tested in a hospital in the Red Sea resort of Sharm el-Sheikh where she is being detained, the state news agency MENA reported on Sunday.
An anti-corruption agency ordered Suzanne Mubarak detained for 15 days on Friday for investigation into charges she used her husband's influence to amass wealth unlawfully. She was admitted to hospital after suffering symptoms of a heart attack.
"Suzanne Mubarak is still in the hospital's ICU (intensive care unit) and there is a decision to keep her for 48 hours to undergo a heart catheter," the news agency said, citing Mohamed Fathallah, manager at the hospital where former president Hosni Mubarak is also undergoing treatment while under detention.
Mubarak, who led Egypt for three decades before he was ousted on February 11 in a popular uprising, also suffered heart problems last month during questioning by lawyers investigating abuse of public funds and the killing of protesters.
He has never been transferred to prison, as demanded by state prosecutors.
Aides insist the Mubaraks have done nothing wrong.
Some media reports have suggested their family's fortune may total billions of dollars.
The conspicuous wealth of senior officials was a major popular grievance in a country where around 40 percent of people live on less than $2 per day.
Mubarak was interrogated about his ownership of a Sharm el-Sheikh villa estimated to be worth more than 36 million Egyptian pounds ($6.1 million) and about alleged personal use of a bank account owned by the Library of Alexandria, according to state media.
Suzanne Mubarak was questioned about a Cairo villa and 20 million pounds in an unspecified bank account, it added.
