The 51-year-old underwent an emergency angioplasty at the hospital yesterday.

As per reports, Inzy had been complaining of chest pain over the last three days. On Monday, his test reported a minor heart attack for which he had to be rushed to the hospital for surgery.

His condition is said to be stable now but he will be under observation.
