Ronaldo Caiado Hospitalized for Arrhythmia, Catheter Ablation Set for Monday

The hospitalization came hours after he criticized Jair Bolsonaro's preventive arrest.

Overview

  • A new bulletin on Sunday reports Caiado experienced atrial fibrillation, remains clinically stable without new episodes, and is scheduled for catheter ablation on Monday.
  • He is in São Paulo’s Vila Nova Star hospital under continuous monitoring and specialized observation, with no timeline for discharge.
  • Cardiologist Ludhmila Hajjar is overseeing care, and the ablation is a standard, minimally invasive procedure intended to correct the rhythm disorder.
  • Earlier on Saturday, he posted a video condemning Bolsonaro’s preventive arrest and urged a swift review by the Supreme Court.
  • After Bolsonaro’s detention, the Supreme Court canceled at least 26 previously authorized visits, a list that included a request involving Caiado.
