The Saudi ruler is undergoing the tests in the King Faisal Specialist Hospital, according to a statement from the royal court.

King Salman, the custodian of Islam's holiest sites, became ruler of the world's top oil exporter in 2015 after spending more than 2-1/2 years as the crown prince and deputy premier.

The 86-year-old monarch underwent gallbladder surgery in 2020 and had the battery of his heart pacemaker replaced in March.
