Mustafa Khokhar, minister in charge of human rights, said that contrary to media reports there was "no question of any resignation" by Zardari, who is under pressure over a scandal that saw his ambassador to the US step down.
"He had a minor heart attack on Tuesday. He flew to Dubai where he had an angioplasty. He`s in good health now. He will come back tomorrow. There`s no question of any resignation," Khokhar told AFP on Wednesday.
The minister contradicted presidential spokesman Farhatullah Babar who said Zardari had been in hospital for tests and a planned medical check up.
State media said Zardari was accompanied by his physicians and personal staff, and that the tests were routine, linked to a "previously diagnosed cardiovascular condition".
Zardari has been under pressure from a scandal over a memo that has seen Pakistan`s ambassador to the United States resign, and had announced on Sunday that he would soon address a joint session of parliament.
