an actor
Last Monday I had an operation that allowed me to become a little more of a machine: I was fitted with a pacemaker. I must say that in Austria I was raised differently: no one ever talked about health problems. Everything related to health was kept secret.
But so many people, like me, who were born with a bicuspid aortic valve, wrote to me actively: the story of my valve replacement operations gave them courage and hope to cope with their own [проблемами].
Schwarzenegger, who was born with a heart defect, underwent several operations: in particular, he had both valves replaced. As the actor explains, a pacemaker was needed because the formation of scar tissue disrupted the heart rhythm.
Full recovery, Schwarzenegger expects, will take him about a month. The actor plans to get back in shape by the start of filming the second season of the series Fubar – work on the show starts in April.
