Former finance minister Arun Jaitley, who has been admitted to the AIIMS here, continues to be stable, sources at the hospital said on Sunday.

On Saturday, after Vice President Venkaiah Naidu visited the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) to enquire about Jaitley's health, his office said that the former minister is responding to treatment.

Jaitley was admitted to the AIIMS Intensive Care Unit on Friday morning after he complained of breathlessness and restlessness, but doctors on Friday said he is "haemodynamically stable".

A hemodynamically stable patient has a stable heart pump and good blood circulation.

The hospital did not issue any fresh bulletin on Jaitley's health either on Saturday or Sunday.

A multidisciplinary team of doctors is supervising his treatment, the AIIMS said on Friday.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Home Minister Amit Shah, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh, Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla, Union Health Minister Harsh Vardhan, Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman, MoS for Health Ashwini Choubey, BJP working president J P Nadda and Loktantrik Janata Dal chief Sharad Yadav, among others visited the hospital on Friday to enquire about Jaitley's health.
