Morocco's King Mohammed VI underwent a successful heart surgery on Sunday in Rabat, a statement issued by the royal Cabinet said early Monday.

The king suffered a heart rhythm disorder known as atrial flutter and the medical staff recommended a complementary radiofrequency ablation, the statement said.

The surgery was a complete success, like the previous one carried out in February 2018 in Paris, with restoration of the normal heart rhythm, the statement added.
