Arnold Schwarzenegger has recently undergone surgery to have a pacemaker fitted, following three open-heart surgeries in the past. The 76-year-old actor took to his podcast ‘Arnold’s Pump Club’ to reveal the procedure and share his experience with his fans.
Schwarzenegger, known for his Terminator character, compared his new “machine part” to his character and announced that he will be taking a break from the gym. Despite facing medical issues in Austria where they were not openly discussed, he has decided to share his journey with the hope of inspiring others who may be going through similar situations.
The actor has received messages from people with bicuspid aortic valve issues who found courage and hope in his openness about his surgeries. Schwarzenegger assured fans that he is recovering well and even attended an environmental event with Jane Fonda just a few days after his surgery. He expressed gratitude to the medical team at Cleveland Clinic for their care and for making the surgery as painless as possible.
Keeping in touch with medical professionals and having regular check-ups has been crucial for Schwarzenegger over the years, allowing early detection of issues and necessary interventions. Although this was an unexpected surgery, he remains positive about his recovery and plans to continue advocating for health and fitness alongside Jane Fonda.
