Japan’s former Emperor Akihito, now 91, has left the University of Tokyo Hospital after a thorough heart examination.
The Imperial Household Agency reports that Akihito was diagnosed with coronary artery disease, though he shows no symptoms.
Health Concerns
Akihito underwent heart bypass surgery in 2012 and was diagnosed with right heart failure in 2022.
This condition requires medication and careful fluid intake management.
His medical team will continue to closely monitor his condition.
- Akihito’s health issues are not uncommon among people his age.
- His condition is being managed with medication and lifestyle adjustments.
Akihito stepped down as emperor in 2019, marking the first abdication in over 200 years.
