According to the Daily Mail, Hollywood veteran Arnold Schwarzenegger made his first public appearance after getting a pacemaker. The 76-year-old former governor of California was seen exiting Beverly Hills’ Via Alloro, a popular hangout for celebrities.Looking happy as he met pals outside the restaurant, Schwarzenegger was dressed casually in a brown leather jacket, black t-shirt, and brown pants. Despite his well-known past as a fitness star, he had a long-standing cardiac problem that required surgery, which was the reason for his current operation.
The erratic pulse, resulting from an underlying cardiac malformation, had grown more concerning. He disclosed that the rigorous itinerary of the March Arnold Sports Festival was a turning point in his life, compelling him to put his health first. Schwarzenegger has previous experience with cardiac surgery. He had a successful valve replacement operation in 1997.
He would need more operations to replace the aortic and pulmonary valves over the course of the following 20 years.Even in the face of health setbacks, Schwarzenegger remained optimistic as always. He gave his medical staff credit for keeping a careful eye on him and carefully planning the pacemaker procedure to minimize any impact on his production schedule for the next season of his TV show “FUBAR.”
Although he has never been one to talk about his own health problems, Arnold Schwarzenegger recognized the benefits his candor has brought to others. He talked about how sharing his story of living with bicuspid aortic valve disease encouraged people who were going through similar struggles.
“So what choice do I have, since I know that going against my instinct… helps people?” he asked, demonstrating his dedication to leveraging his position of authority to give others more power.
