Overview
- Carlos Alberto de Nóbrega was admitted to Hospital Sírio-Libanês after months of fatigue, had a pacemaker implanted on October 20, and was discharged on Friday, October 23.
- Reports say the Coxsackie type 2 virus aggravated his existing heart-failure condition and caused bradycardia and other arrhythmias that led doctors to recommend the device.
- The 90-year-old long-running presenter of A Praça é Nossa has no set date to return to recordings and will remain at home resting while his recovery is monitored.
- His wife, Dr. Renata de Nóbrega, announced the hospitalization on social media, also reported that she fell ill from the virus but did not need hospital care, and helped arrange home adaptations to aid his mobility.
- Observers should watch his short-term cardiac follow-up and SBT’s scheduling, since his recovery will determine both his health risks from post-viral arrhythmias and the show’s production plans.
