Schwarzenegger says feeling ‘fantastic’ after heart surgery
Action star Arnold Schwarzenegger said he has had heart surgery but is feeling ‘fantastic.’
“I have a new aortic valve to go along with my new pulmonary valve from my last surgery. I feel fantastic and have already been walking the streets
of Cleveland,” the Terminator actor and former California governor tweeted. Schwarzenegger, 73, posted a picture of himself giving a thumbs up from his hospital bed at the Cleveland Clinic, and thanked medical
staff there.
The actor, who was born with a heart defect, underwent emergency open-heart surgery in 2018 to replace a pulmonary valve. Schwarzenegger became one of the world’s best known action movie stars in the 1980s with films including Conan the Barbarian and
The Terminator and comedies such as Twins.
