Natalya Krachkovskaya Hospitalised

77-year-old star of the famous Soviet film "Ivan Vasilievich Changes His Profession" Natalya Krachkovskaya was today emergency hospitalised in the intensive care unit of Pirogov City Clinical Hospital.

The actress is suspected of having a heart attack. She had been experiencing severe chest pain for several days but did not rush to the hospital; it was Krachkovskaya's relatives who called an ambulance. However, it proved difficult for the medics to carry her out of the apartment. The issue was the actress's excess weight.

Doctors were forced to call the EMERCOM with special equipment to carry the artist out and get her to the "ambulance".

Natalya Krachkovskaya has a pacemaker, which was installed several years ago, but the actress's excessive body weight is affecting the heart's rhythm.
