André Ventura, the leader of Chega, has been transferred to Setúbal Hospital for a catheterization to rule out any heart disease, as confirmed by the emergency director of Santiago do Cacém Hospital.
"André Ventura is stable," stated the director of the Emergency Service at Hospital do Litoral Alentejano. The decision for further tests came after Ventura experienced "a second episode of chest pain," prompting medical staff to review his "medical history" as a precaution.
Despite initial tests ruling out an acute myocardial infarction, the medical team opted for a catheterization to check for "lesions in the coronary arteries." Currently, there are no signs of "any cardiac issues," but the procedure is deemed necessary to conclusively eliminate heart disease before considering other diagnoses.
Ventura was transported by ambulance to Setúbal Hospital, the designated facility for such examinations, as the local hospital lacks a cardiology emergency service. "He goes like all patients, by ambulance," emphasized the doctor, underlining the standard procedure.
In response to his hospitalization, Ventura shared a photo from his hospital bed on social media, captioning it: "It's a setback and a challenge. It won't bring us down. Keep going... keep going!!! Portugal is much more important; it's this country that drives us."
The leader's participation in a campaign event on Friday hinges on the test results, with the possibility of a 24-hour observation period.
