Reports to Brazil's Top Court Say Bolsonaro Is Improving in Pneumonia Recovery

Overview

• Bolsonaro’s defense submitted a cardiology report and a physiotherapy update to the Supreme Federal Court to comply with his humanitarian house‑arrest terms.
• The cardiologist, Brasil Caiado, reported a satisfactory course with slight improvement, noting controlled blood pressure but ongoing fatigue and brief balance problems.
• On exam, breath sounds were markedly reduced at the base of the left lung, a sign of limited airflow that supports continued respiratory rehab.
• He is following a strict plan that includes physiotherapy three times a week and cardiorespiratory rehabilitation six times a week, plus leg‑strength work to lower fall risk.
• An orthopedist prescribed pain relief for his right shoulder, and the defense reported a surgical indication, with pre‑op therapies underway as the 90‑day term remains in force for later court review.
