Dikshit, who was admitted to the hospital on Monday night following uneasiness and throat infection, left the hospital for home today late evening.

Dr Ashok Seth, Chairman of Cardiac Sciences at Fortis Escorts Heart Institute, said Dikshit has made "good progress" after the angioplasty procedure.

"She has made good progress and all her vital parameters are fine," Seth told PTI.

Dikshit wanted to resume work from tomorrow, but doctors advised her to take rest till Sunday and resume work from Monday.

"I have advised her that she should take rest at least till the weekend," he said, adding that the Chief Minister will be called to the hospital for regular check-ups.

The angioplasty procedure was carried out on 74-year-old Dikshit on Tuesday.
