Former crown prince Paras Shah has been admitted to Norvic International Hospital, in Thapathali, Kathmandu after experiencing chest discomfort on Sunday evening.

Doctors confirmed that Shah suffered a heart attack, following which he underwent an angioplasty procedure the same night, according to a doctor at the hospital.

Shah’s condition is currently stable, hospital officials told the Post.

Shah has a history of heart-related complications. In September 2023, he was hospitalised at HAMS Hospital in Mandikhatar due to a heart attack. Earlier in 2019, Shah underwent treatment at Norvic Hospital in Thapathali following a heart attack. In 2015, an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator, a special device powered by a battery that helps treat irregular heartbeats called arrhythmias, was successfully placed in his heart.

He also survived a massive cardiac arrest in 2013 while he was in Bangkok. Earlier, in September 2007, he had undergone an angioplasty at Norvic Hospital following a mild heart attack.
