Pune: Anti-corruption activist Anna Hazare was hospitalised in Pune on Thursday after he complained of chest pain, as per hospital authorities.
The anti-corruption crusader, admitted to Ruby Hall Clinic, is stable after a procedure done to remove a minor blockage in his coronary artery, they said.
“The 84-year-old social activist was admitted to the hospital after he complained of chest pain for the last two to three days. He was thoroughly evaluated by a team of experts,” said a statement by Ruby Hall Clinic. It stated that an ECG (electrocardiogram) revealed “minor changes” following which two doctors - PK Grant and CN Makhale - conducted an angiography, an imaging test that uses X-rays to check blood vessels, on him.
“The angiogram revealed a minor blockage in his coronary artery. The procedure was performed successfully and he is receiving the appropriate medical line of treatment. He is stable and likely to be discharged in 2 to 3 days,” said Dr Grant, chief cardiologist and managing trustee, Ruby Hall Clinic.
