Former Indian captain and Board of Control for Cricket in India’s (BCCI) president Sourav Ganguly has reached the Apollo Hospital in Kolkata after experiencing discomfort in the chest just weeks after undergoing treatment for a heart-related ailment.
“Sourav Ganguly, 48 years old, male has come for a checkup of his cardiac condition. There is no change in his parameters since his last hospitalisation and his vital parameters are stable,” said the bulletin.
“There is no complication, it is a routine visit,” the source had told ANI.
On 2 January, the BCCI president was admitted to Woodlands Hospital after he complained of chest pain and dizziness. He later underwent angioplasty after he was diagnosed with three blockages in the coronary artery. He spent about five days in the hospital before being finally discharged on 7 January.
After getting discharged, the former Indian skipper had thanked the medical team of Woodlands Hospital for looking after him and doing the needful procedures.
“I thank the doctors at the hospital for the treatment. I am absolutely fine. Hopefully, I will be ready to fly soon,” Ganguly had told reporters.
On 6 January, Dr Rupali Basu, MD, and CEO of Woodlands Hospital had said that the former captain would be monitored at home on a daily basis after being discharged. The 48-year-old would be ready for the next course of procedures or medical intervention after about 2-3 weeks, Dr Basu had explained while informing the reporters about the health of the former India captain.
Cardiologist Dr Devi Shetty had also met the medical team of nine doctors attending to Ganguly and then a further course of action was decided by the hospital. Dr Shetty said that the heart of Ganguly was as strong as it was when the former India skipper was 20-years-old.
