Sourav Ganguly suffers ‘mild’ heart attack, undergoes angioplasty

Kolkata, Jan 2:
BCCI president and former India skipper Sourav Ganguly today suffered a “mild” heart attack and is undergoing “primary angioplasty” at a city hospital, doctors said.
The 48-year-old cricket icon is stable.
“He had an acute myocardial infarction (MI) but is stable now. He is stable haemodynamically and has received loading doses of dual anti platelets and statin.
“Mr Ganguly is undergoing primary angioplasty now. We are yet to decide on how many stent insertion is required for Mr Ganguly,” a doctor at Woodlands Hospital said.
A myocardial infarction (MI), commonly known as a heart attack, occurs when blood flow decreases or stops to a part of the heart, causing damage to the heart muscle. (PTI)
