Senator Alejandro Navarro will undergo an emergency intervention, after he was admitted for a heart condition on Tuesday night.

The congressman arrived after 10 pm at the Las Higueras Hospital in Talcahuano, where an “exploration” surgery will take place, according to what was pointed out nearby.

According to a statement issued by the Health Service of that commune, Navarro entered the Hemodynamics and Electrophysiology Unit of the establishment and is currently being managed by the cardio-surgical team.

“During the day tomorrow (Wednesday, 10:30 am) more information about its evolution will be delivered”, closes the letter.

As reported by Radio Bío Bío, the PRO representative was traveling by car from Santiago to Concepción when he presented severe pain in his chest.

He and the advisers who accompanied him decided to suspend his trip to Chillán, where he was taken to the local hospital, before being transferred to Talcahuano.
