Tamim's condition improves slightly after stent placed to clear heart blockage

Bangladesh stalwart Tamim Iqbal has been placed on life support after suffering a massive heart attack. Despite efforts to transport him to Evercare Hospital in Dhaka by helicopter, his critical condition made it impossible. However, doctors have now reported some improvement in his condition.

Tamim’s heart showed a complete 100 per cent blockage, and a stent has been placed in the affected artery. Doctors have observed that if the procedure is successful, further steps will be taken. For now, his breathing is being supported by medical equipment.

Tamim suddenly fell seriously ill during the Dhaka Premier League match between Mohammedan and Shinepukur at the BKSP 3rd ground in Savar on Monday

Initially, there were plans to airlift Tamim to Evercare Hospital in Dhaka. However, as his condition did not improve sufficiently for air travel, he was instead admitted to Fazilatunnessa Hospital, located near the BKSP.
