Kolkata: Days after undergoing treatment for a heart-related ailment, BCCI president and the former Indian skipper Sourav Ganguly was again rushed to a hospital in Kolkata on Wednesday. As per reports, he has been taken to the Apollo Hospitals after he experienced discomfort in his chest.

"Sourav Ganguly has come for a checkup of his cardiac condition. There is no change in his parameters since his last hospitalization and his vital parameters are stable," said authorities of the Apollo Hospitals, Kolkata.

On January 2, the 48-year-old had suffered a sudden blackout following mild chest pain during a workout session at his Behala residence. He was moved to the Kolkata's Woodlands Hospital that day itself where he underwent angioplasty. He was discharged from the hospital following six days of hospitalisation.

Ganguly had three blocked coronary arteries and a stent was inserted in one to remove the blockage. A nine-member medical team was formed to look after him after he suffered a mild cardiac attack.

A medical team, led by state-run SSKM Hospital's cardiology department head Saroj Mondal, was looking after Ganguly's health check-ups at the hospital.

The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) chief was asked to follow a strict guideline for the next two weeks. Some medical tests were also conducted upon him during that time.
