President Pranab Mukherjee was taken to the hospital today morning after he complained of stomach problems and related ailments.
Mukherjee, 79, underwent a heart procedure as doctors at the Army's Research and Referral hospital installed a coronary stent in his artery to remove a blockage.
Doctors at the hospital put him under observation for a day for various tests during which they detected a blockage in one of the arteries, hospital sources said.
The doctors immediately conducted angioplasty on the President.
