Arnold Schwarzenegger undergoes heart surgery
Actor and former
Governor of California Arnold Schwarzenegger has done another heart surgery.
Sharing
pictures from his hospital bed and posing beside statues on Friday, the actor
said that he is already recovering from the procedure.
“Thanks to
the team at the Cleveland Clinic, I have a new aortic valve to go along with my
new pulmonary valve from my last surgery,” the 73-year-old actor said on Twitter.
“I feel
fantastic and have already been walking the streets of Cleveland enjoying your
amazing statues. Thank you to every doc and nurse on my team!.”
Schwarzenegger’s
heart issues started many years ago. In 1997, he installed a pulmonic valve to
correct a congenital defect. But by March 2018, he had to undergo another surgery
to replace the valve.
The
Hollywood film icon rose to fame in the 1980s for his roles in The
Terminator, Predator and Commando. Also a former bodybuilder,
he served at the 38th Governor of California from 2003 to 2011.
