CNN —Arnold Schwarzenegger has shared a photo of himself days after revealing he’d had a pacemaker fitted, as he confirms he will be “ready” to start filming next month. In 1997, he underwent a pulmonic valve replacement, which helps blood flow from the heart to the lungs. In 2018, he then had open-heart surgery to replace the aging pulmonic valve that had been inserted. Two years later, he had surgery to replace his aortic valve, which helps blood flow out of the heart to the rest of the body. With this latest procedure, Schwarzenegger said on the podcast that doctors advised him to get the pacemaker “because some scar tissue from my previous surgery had made my heartbeat irregular” for several years.
