Sourav Ganguly suffers cardiac arrest

The Board of Control for Cricket President was first admitted to a hospital in Kolkata on January 2 after experiencing chest pain while working out in the gym at his residence. After getting tests done, it came to light that Sourav Ganguly had suffered a mild cardiac issue. Thereafter, the Woodlands hospital in Kolkata had set up a three-member board headed by Dr. Saroj Mondal who performed primary angioplasty on the cricketer. The size of the board grew in subsequent days, with prominent doctors from other cities and hospitals also joining, including heart specialists Dr. Ramakanta Panda and Dr. Devi Shetty. As per PTI, the decision to conduct an angioplasty on Ganguly at the Apollo Hospital was taken after noted cardiologist Devi Shetty went through his test reports. The former skipper's vital parameters are reported to be stable, as per the latest reports. When he was previously discharged from the hospital after his first angioplasty, it was said that he would need another one, though not necessarily immediately.
