"His heart today is as strong as it was when Sourav was 20 years old," cardiac surgeon Devi Shetty told reporters.
"Sourav can participate in a marathon, fly a plane, or even get back to cricket if he wants without this event being any setback."
Hundreds of youths had gathered outside the hospital as Ganguly walked out accompanied by his wife Dona.
