Overview

• On August 5, Coppola underwent a planned update of his atrial fibrillation treatment by Dr. Andrea Natale at Rome’s Policlinico Tor Vergata.
• Initial local reports of atrial fibrillation and an emergency hospitalization were disputed by his representatives, who said he arrived by car and faced no emergency.
• A source close to Coppola and his own Instagram post confirmed that he is resting comfortably following the procedure and thanked fans for their concern.
• Earlier this month, the 86-year-old presented Megalopolis at the Magna Graecia Film Festival in Calabria and scouted locations for a new film set to begin shooting in the autumn.
• Coppola has relied on Dr. Natale for over 30 years to manage his heart condition and chose to combine his medical update with professional engagements in Italy.
