A widely known singer and composer, Igor Nikolaev, is reportedly leaving the clinic after treatment. Life magazine confirms this development, noting positive progress in his condition and the easing of the need for ongoing hospitalization.
Sources indicate that the immediate risk from the coronavirus remains a concern for the artist. Nikolaev, weakened by recent medical procedures, remains vulnerable, and medical staff have advised him to minimize contact with others and limit outdoor exposure as a precaution for his recovery.
On September 15, Telegram channels began reporting that Nikolaev required urgent hospitalization. The same day, another channel claimed that the composer had been moved to intensive care. Reports of a severe heart condition circulated, accompanied by assertions that the artist had experienced serious heart damage. By that afternoon, representatives for Nikolaev publicly refuted claims that he was in intensive care, stating the information was inaccurate.
Subsequently, Nikolaev underwent heart surgery on September 19, followed by a transfer back to a regular hospital ward on September 20. By September 22, news sources reported that he was in the post-operative recovery phase, engaging in light physical activity and rehabilitation exercises designed to restore mobility and strength.
Earlier statements from Ivan Krasko clarified who would be responsible for Nikolaev’s care following discharge from the hospital, underscoring the involvement of family and medical staff in monitoring his recovery process.
Medical experts emphasize that the patient’s future health hinges on careful management of cardiac health, adherence to prescribed rehabilitation protocols, and ongoing medical supervision to prevent complications during convalescence. Family and colleagues continue to publicly acknowledge the importance of patience and steady progress as Nikolaev works toward full restoration of health.
Public health officials remind readers that recovering from heart surgery and a recent viral illness requires a gradual return to daily activities, a careful balance between rest and activity, and strict adherence to medical advice. The situation also highlights the heightened vulnerability of patients recovering from major procedures during periods of infectious disease activity, reinforcing the need for protective measures until a strong immune response is established.
