Ganguly wasn’t feeling well since Tuesday evening, a source close to the family said. When the feeling persisted on Wednesday, an electrocardiogram was done which showed some changes, said the source. A PTI report said Ganguly felt dizzy and had “slight discomfort” in the chest. The family then decided to take him to the Apollo Gleneagles Hospital in eastern Kolkata, said the source.

On January 2, he had to be hospitalised after “chest discomfort, heaviness of the head and a spell of dizziness while performing physical exercises in the home gymnasium,” according to a release from Woodlands Multispeciality Hospital then. He had a stent inserted in the right coronary artery and discharged on January 7 with further treatment needed in “two-three weeks” on two more blockages.
