LUCKNOW: A day after BSP MLA Mukhtar Ansari reportedly suffered a heart attack, the medical bulletin released by the SGPGI on Wednesday said his angiography report showed nothing abnormal.

The medical bulletin neither confirmed nor denied any cardiac stroke and only said Ansari was normal as per the angiography report. He was admitted to MICU ward of SGPGI with “symptoms of cardiac pain and anxiety”, the medical bulletin added. Though the doctors refused to elaborate on his condition, a doctor said on condition of anonymity that Ansari could have suffered a minor myocardial infarction without any obstruction in arteries.

“However, this is a rare thing to happen,” he said. Myocardial infarction occurs when blood flow to a part of the heart decreases or stops.

Director, SGPGIMS, Prof Rakesh Kapoor said everything was there in the medical bulletin of the institute and he had nothing to add as he was not treating the patient.

Ansari, who was admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) of cardiology department, is being treated by a team of doctors led by Prof PK Goel and will undergo more medical tests after which he may be discharged from the hospital on Thursday.

Lodged in Banda jail in connection murder of BJP MLA Krishnanand Rai, Ansari was rushed to the district hospital in Banda after he complained of chest pain. He was later referred to the SGPGI.

A number of Ansari’s supporters reached SGPGI to know the well-being of their leader.

The hospital staff had to ask them to leave the waiting area as attendants of other patients were getting disturbed.
