Former Indian captain will be finally discharged from the hospital on Thursday after the 48-year-old BCCI president suffered a mild heart attack last Saturday. Kolkata’s Woodlands Hospital confirms in its latest press statement that he will be discharged today after Ganguly decided to extend his stay by a day earlier.
Ganguly had suffered a mild cardiac arrest during a workout session at his Behala residence on January 2. He had been moved to the Woodlands Hospital that day itself where he underwent angioplasty. The 48-year-old had three blocked coronary arteries and a stent was inserted in one to remove the blockage.
“Treating doctors will be keeping constant vigil on his health situation and taking appropriate measures from time to time at home,” it added. A medical team, led by state-run SSKM Hospital’s cardiology department head Dr Saroj Mondal, is currently looking after Ganguly’s health check-ups at the hospital.
