Chennai, July 24

Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M.K. Stalin, who was admitted to Apollo Hospitals in Chennai for giddiness-related symptoms, has been diagnosed with variations in heart rate following a series of medical investigations, it was announced on Thursday.

A statement, issued by the hospital, said that the Chief Minister underwent a therapeutic procedure in the morning to address the condition and is currently in stable health.

According to the statement signed by Dr Anil B.G., Director of Medical Services at Apollo Hospitals, the diagnostic angiogram performed on the Chief Minister revealed no abnormalities. The procedure was undertaken under the supervision of a medical expert committee led by senior interventional cardiologist Dr. G. Sengottuvelu.

Despite being hospitalised, Stalin has continued to discharge his administrative responsibilities from the hospital. He interacted with Chief Secretary Muruganandam and reviewed ongoing government programmes, including the flagship '#WithYou_Stalin' public grievance redressal camps being held across the state.

Sources said that the Chief Minister signed several important files and issued instructions to district Collectors and officials via video conference.

Hospital authorities have said that Stalin is expected to make a full recovery and return to his normal routine within two days.

The medical team noted that the early detection of the issue and prompt intervention helped prevent any serious complications. The 72-year-old Chief Minister, who had earlier reported uneasiness and giddiness, was admitted to Apollo Hospitals, Greams Road, on Monday morning. His hospitalisation prompted concern among political leaders and the general public, but updates from the hospital and his own messages have since allayed fears.

Apollo Hospitals has the best cardiac care in India. He's in good hands. But I'm concerned - at 72, shouldn't he consider delegating more work? Health is wealth as we say in Tamil "உடல் நலமே பெரும் செல்வம்".

This is why regular health checkups are important, especially for our leaders. Glad it was detected early. Hope other politicians take note and prioritize their health too.

While I appreciate his dedication, working from hospital sets a bad precedent. What if other ministers start doing this when they should be recovering? Health should come before files and meetings.

Heart rate variations can be serious if not treated properly. Good that he's getting top medical care. But I wonder - does this mean he'll slow down his famous morning walks and public interactions?

The fact that he's continuing work shows his commitment, but as a doctor I must say - rest is crucial after cardiac procedures. Even our Prime Minister took proper rest when needed. Get well soon CM!
