Stalin's Health Assessed As Good Post Heart Procedure; Set to Return to Work in Two Days
**Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin's Health Update: Stable Condition and Gradual Recovery**
Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin is making a steady recovery after being hospitalised at Apollo Hospitals in Chennai. The 71-year-old leader was admitted on Monday following a bout of mild giddiness during his routine morning walk[1].
According to hospital evaluations, the giddiness was caused by variations in Stalin's heart rate[2][3]. To address this, he underwent a diagnostic angiogram, a common medical procedure used to examine the blood vessels of the heart[4]. The results of the procedure showed no serious cardiac complications, as confirmed by a team of medical experts led by senior cardiologist Dr G Sengottuvelu[2][3].
Despite being hospitalised, Stalin has remained active. He held a video conference with collectors from various districts and reviewed the progress of the "Ungaludan Stalin" (Stalin With You) grievance camps[2]. Visual evidence released by the Tamil Nadu government also shows the Chief Minister actively conducting official work from his hospital room[6].
Stalin's elder brother, M K Alagiri, visited him at the hospital and confirmed his recovery[7]. The Chief Minister is expected to resume his normal routine within two days, as stated in the hospital's official statement[8].
On Tuesday, Stalin was reported to have walked 1.5 km within the hospital, demonstrating his improving health[9]. Due to his condition, several public engagements, including a temple-run college visit, the swearing-in ceremony of the new Chief Justice of the Madras High Court, and a visit to Tiruppur, were cancelled[10].
The Tamil Nadu Government has provided regular updates on Stalin's health status, reassuring the public of his well-being. As of now, the Chief Minister is in good health and is gradually recovering.
