New Delhi, Aug 13: Former President Pranab Mukherjee alive and haemodynamically stable, says his son Abhijit Mukherjee.

Abhijit Mukherjee, son of Pranab Mukherjee, tweeted, "With All Your Prayers, My Father is haemodynamically stable now. I request everyone to continue with your prayers & good wishes for his speedy recovery. Thank You".

"Shri Pranab Mukherjee's health condition continues to remain critical. Presently, he is haemodynamically stable and on a ventilator," a statement from the hospital said.

What does haemodynamically stable mean

If one patient has stable hemodynamics, it means that the force at which the heart pumps blood is stable.

Maintaining stable blood flow in the heart and vessels is vital in supporting regular organ functions including the heart's.

Haemodynamic stability can be defined as perfusion failure, represented by clinical features of circulatory shock and advanced heart failure.

It may also be defined as one or more out-of-range vital sign measurements, such as low blood pressure.

The former President was admitted to the hospital in Delhi Cantonment on August 10 and underwent a surgery for removal of a clot in his brain.

Pranab Mukherjee's health had worsened a day after the surgery and was not showing signs of improvement.
