Actor Renato Aragão, 87, was rushed into hospital this Wednesday morning (7), at Hospital Samaritano Barra, west of Rio. The comedian was diagnosed with TIA (Transient Ischemic Accident) and the doctors then decided to hospitalize him with no discharge forecast.
“It was a scare, but we’re already in the room and he’s doing great”, said Renato’s wife, Lílian Aragão to the F5🇧🇷 She, who is the actor’s manager, also revealed the symptoms that her husband had as soon as he woke up. “He complained of a lot of dizziness. He said he was dizzy and we thought it could be labyrinthitis. As he was still dizzy, we decided to come to an emergency. Thank God it wasn’t a stroke (Cerebral Vascular Accident), he explained.
Lilian also said that Renato Aragão is now under neurological surveillance. “He is fine, and monitored with lots of love and care.” Transient Ischemic Attack is a change in brain function that usually lasts less than an hour and is caused by a temporary blockage of blood supply to the brain. According to data from the Ministry of Health, it is responsible for 80% of cases of cerebrovascular disease.
The report got in touch with Hospital Samaritano Barra to find out about Renato Aragão’s health status at the end of this Wednesday afternoon. The press office of the hospital unit sent a statement that “does not have authorization to send information”.
