Japan’s Yuriko, Princess Mikasa has been hospitalised after being diagnosed with having an abnormal heart rhythm, the Imperial Household Agency announced on Monday.
The Princess is not believed to be in critical condition. She was admitted to St. Luke’s International Hospital in Tokyo, where she will remain for at least the coming week. It is her second hospitalisation in six months; in October she was admitted to hospital for the treatment of pneumonia and heart failure. At the time, she was also tested for the coronavirus, and the result came back negative. The Princess was fitted with a pacemaker in 1999 following a diagnosis of bradyarrhythmia.
