However, his office in Pakistan termed the reports part of the propaganda campaign against Zardari.
Jamil Ahmad Khan, Pakistan Ambassador to the UAE, told Gulf News that doctors have conducted detailed medical tests, including MRI and blood tests, on Zardari and the medical reports are normal.
He rejected all talk about Zardari's resignation.
According to a statement from the prime minister's office in Pakistan, Zardari came to Dubai following symptoms related to his pre-existing heart condition. "After the initial medical tests in Dubai, doctors found him to be in stable condition. The President went to Dubai at the insistence of his children," the statement said.
Zardari, who arrived in an air force plane, has come under growing pressure over a memo allegedly written by Hussain Haqqani, former Pakistan ambassador to the US asking for US assistance in curbing the powerful military.

Jamil Ahmad Khan, the Ambassador of Pakistan to the UAE, told Gulf News that doctors have conducted detailed medical tests including MRI, blood tests and other necessary tests and reports are normal.
He also rejected media reports that the president would resign.
"There is no truth in such reports as the president will return home soon," he said.

According to a statement from the Prime Minister's house in Pakistan, the President went to Dubai following symptoms related to his pre-existing heart condition.
"After the initial medical tests in Dubai, doctors found him to be in stable condition. The president went to Dubai at the insistence of his children," he said in a statement.
Zardari's son and chairman of the PPP also met Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani in Islamabad yesterday sending a message that the President would come back.
Earlier, President Zardari was flown in a Pakistan Air Force aircraft equipped with medical equipment and landed in Dubai at around 8.30pm. Sources said that they knew about his arrival since early morning and it was no surprise.
Contrary to rumours that he was taken in an ambulance, Zardari walked down the aircraft stairs and went to the hospital in a car, officials revealed.
Zardari took office after his Pakistan People's Party won the general elections in February 2008, three months after his wife, former prime minister Benazir Bhutto was assassinated.
Although he has survived numerous crises and calls for his resignation, he has come under growing pressure over a memo allegedly written by Hussain Haqqani, former Pakistan ambassador to the United States, asking for US assistance in curbing the powerful military.
