Arnold Schwarzenegger Undergoes Emergency Heart Surgery
TMZ ^ | March 30, 2018

Posted on 03/30/2018 9:23:02 AM PDT by EdnaMode

Arnold Schwarzenegger has undergone emergency open-heart surgery ... TMZ has learned.

Sources connected to Arnold tell TMZ, the 70-year-old Schwarzenegger went to Cedars-Sinai Thursday for a catheter valve replacement. We're told the surgery is somewhat experimental and he developed complications. Doctors were prepared in case the catheter valve replacement failed ... and quickly decided Arnold needed emergency open-heart surgery, which we're told lasted several hours.

This is not the first time Arnold has gone under the knife for heart surgery. He had an aortic valve replaced in 1997. At the time doctors didn't feel the procedure was urgently needed, but Arnold decided to do it while he was still young. He also said at the time the condition was congenital and had nothing to do with steroids.

As for his condition ... we're told he's stable.

Nothing to do with steroids? It can't be safe to take those longterm.

Long-term anabolic steroid use may weaken heart more than previously thought: https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2010/04/100427171802.htm

Probably related to climate change. Much more likely than steroid being a contributor.

All the best to the Governator. Wishing him a speedy recovery.

(He was a lot better than what they have now.)

HGH would be a more likely culprit.

He will earn a lot of carbon credits for this. Will shut down his carbon spigots for a short period.

Weightlifting can be incredibly hard on the vascular system.

Actually, weightlifting is one of the best things you can do for your heart.

Now, steroids, that’s a whole other kettle of fish.
