The Cricket fraternity underwent a great shock when BCCI President and former Indian star Sourav Ganguly suffered a mild cardiac arrest a few days back. He was immediately rushed to Kolkata’s Woodlands hospital and underwent an angioplasty. However, in the latest turn of events, it’s a sigh of relief for Indian fans as he is discharged from the hospital and is doing fine. After being admitted for six days, Ganguly has thanked doctors for taking good care of him.

Ganguly also added that he is in a fine condition and showed gratitude for all the love and prayers he received from well-wishers. He made it clear that he would be in a condition to fly after some time. Doctors also stated earlier his heart is completely fine, and is as young while it would have been in his youth.

“I thank the doctors at the hospital for the treatment. I am absolutely fine, hopefully, I will be ready to fly soon. Firstly, I thank everyone for their well wishes. Especially the doctors at the Woodlands Hospital. I thank them for taking care of me. They say we come to the hospital to get our lives back, and it’s really has been that,” stated Ganguly.

Dr, Rupali Basu MD, and CEO of Woodlands hospital stated that Ganguly would be good to go with his usual routine in the next 3-4 weeks. After the revascularization of blocked arteries, Ganguly will be absolutely fine. Surgery would no be required in his case because of his young age and development in the fields of angioplasty.

Sourav Ganguly should be back to his active life in 3-4 weeks: Doctors

“I don’t think we are considering surgery at the moment because of his young age and the advancement of angioplasty. But we are taking expert opinions from the best cardiologists in the country and in the world, and then, we will have to take a call about what to do with the two blocked arteries, and once that is done, another 3-4 weeks of resting and he should be back to his active life, and that’s what we want for Dada to be back to his active life,” said Dr. Basu while speaking to India today.
