CARACAS (Reuters) - Imprisoned Venezuelan opposition leader Freddy Guevara's health could be at risk due to cardiac arrythmia, his father and a doctor who treated him for coronavirus earlier this year said on Wednesday.

Guevara, a close ally of opposition leader Juan Guaido - recognized by the United States and others as the South American country's legitimate president - was detained on July 12 and charged with terrorism, treason, and an attack on the constitutional order.
