Norwegian royal family
Queen of Norway temporarily in hospital
A ski trip ends in the hospital for the Norwegian queen.
Norwegian Queen Sonja was temporarily admitted to a clinic at the weekend. The 87-year-old suffered from atrial fibrillation in connection with a ski trip, the royal family said in a statement on Saturday evening.
She was therefore taken to the hospital in the city of Lillehammer for observation. However, the situation is not considered serious and King Harald V’s wife (87) is in good shape given the circumstances.
The all-clear came on Sunday morning
Atrial fibrillation is the most common form of cardiac arrhythmia. The heart usually beats too fast and irregularly. If left untreated, it can lead to strokes, for example.
Atrial fibrillation should not be confused with cardiac arrhythmias in the heart chambers. These are often more serious.
The all-clear came on Sunday morning. Queen Sonja was released with a normal heart rhythm, the palace said.
King Harald contracted an infection while on holiday in Malaysia last year and was taken to hospital there. After flying back home, he was fitted with a permanent pacemaker.
