CHENNAI: Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin, who has been in Apollo Hospital on Greams Road since Monday morning, has undergone a “therapeutic procedure” on Thursday morning to correct variations in his heart rate, a release by the hospital said.
The statement further said that the chief minister is healthy and is expected to resume his normal routine in two days. Stalin went to the hospital after he felt mild giddiness during his routine walk in the morning on Monday.
The release issued on Thursday afternoon said investigations revealed that the symptoms were due to variations in his heart rate. However, it did not elaborate on the nature of the procedure he underwent for irregular heart rate. The procedure was done based on the opinion of a committee of medical experts led by renowned interventional cardiologist Dr G Sengottuvelu.
The statement also said a diagnostic angiogram done on Thursday was normal. Earlier on Monday, the CM reported mild giddiness during his routine walk. He later came to DMK headquarters in Anna Salai briefly to participate in a couple of events. He went to Apollo Hospital from there.
A statement issued by the hospital on Monday evening said the CM was doing fine, but has been advised rest at the hospital for three days to perform evaluations. On Tuesday, he went from Apollo Hospital on Greams Road to Apollo group’s speciality hospital in Teynampet for a test and returned back to the Greams Road facility.
The CM also discharged his duties from the hospital and reviewed the progress of the ongoing Ungaludan Stalin initiative at least twice with the Chief Secretary.
