KOLKATA: BCCI president Sourav Ganguly was on Wednesday hospitalised again with discomfort in the chest, less than a month after he underwent angioplasty.
The 48-year-old, who underwent angioplasty earlier this month after he was diagnosed with three blocked coronary arteries, felt “dizzy and slight discomfort in the chest” as he was rushed to Apollo Gleneagles hospital for further diagnosis, a family source told PTI.
“He was feeling dizzy and had some discomfort in the chest. So, he was rushed to the hospital for further diagnosis,” he said.
Meanwhile, Apollo Gleneagles hospital has released a statement on Ganguly’s condition, saying his vital parameters are stable.
An ECG that was conducted is said to have caught minor fluctuations.
Ganguly for now will stay back at the hospital. He might need another stent implanted in the next 48 hours. Last time when he was taken to hospital there were multiple blockages found. An angioplasty was done and one stent was implanted.
Doctors are saying nothing alarming. But most probably a second angioplasty will be done in the next 48 hours. A call will be taken soon.
