Japan’s former Emperor Akihito hospitalized to adjust his heart medication

On Monday, July 14, Japan's former Emperor Akihito, aged 91, was hospitalized in Tokyo to adjust his heart medication dosage.
Following a May diagnosis of asymptomatic myocardial ischemia, doctors found minimal improvement after two months of treatment and decided to add therapy to reduce his heart's burden.
According to palace officials, Akihito's heart was monitored via electrocardiogram and exams after arriving at 3:30 p.m. with Empress Emerita Michiko to set medication dosage.
Following dosage assessments, officials have not disclosed the hospital stay duration, which remains uncertain despite prospects for swift discharge once medication is finalized.
In broader context, Emperor Emeritus Akihito manages ongoing health with medication, fluid restrictions, and exercise limits since his 2019 abdication.
