Arnold Schwarzenegger hospitalized
Arnold Schwarzenegger has revealed he recently had surgery to receive a pacemaker. The announcement was made on his podcast, *Arnold’s Pump Club*.
He explained that, despite growing up in a culture where health issues were private, he chooses transparency. Schwarzenegger believes sharing his journey helps others facing similar conditions.
His heart challenges date back decades. In 1997, he underwent his first open-heart surgery to replace a defective aortic valve.
A planned less invasive procedure in 2018 turned into emergency open-heart surgery. He recovered in time to film *Terminator: Dark Fate* shortly after.
Another valve replacement followed in 2020. This latest surgery implanted a pacemaker to address heartbeat irregularities caused by past surgical scar tissue.
Schwarzenegger emphasized the importance of following medical advice and prioritizing long-term health. His openness has been widely praised by fans and health advocates.
By speaking candidly, he helps break down taboos around serious health conditions. Schwarzenegger continues to symbolize resilience, showing strength through transparency and perseverance.
