Arnold Schwarzenegger reveals near-death heart surgery experience, journey to recovery

Arnold Schwarzenegger has revealed harrowing experience during nearly fatal heart surgery he underwent in 2018. He shared the challenging recovery process and vividly remembers the moment when doctors conveyed the life-altering turn of events.

In a video posted recently to his YouTube channel as part of his health and fitness group, Arnold's Pump Club, the 76-year-old actor and bodybuilder recalled a frightening incident in early 2018 when he was supposed to undergo non-invasive heart surgery, reports etonline.

He recounted, "I suddenly woke up, and the doctors were sitting before me, saying, 'I'm deeply sorry, but contrary to our initial plan, which involved non-invasive surgery to replace the valve by going through the heart, we encountered an error. We inadvertently punctured the heart wall, leading to internal bleeding. As a result, we had to swiftly perform an open procedure to save your life.'"


Arnold reflected on this revelation, stating, "I thought, 'Well, this is truly remarkable news.' I mean, really, it was quite something. In any case, the undeniable truth is that you cannot turn back time. It was a catastrophic situation. I found myself in the midst of a crisis." He shared these reflections in a video posted on YouTube for Arnold's Pump Club.

As Schwarzenegger reflected on his recovery journey, he also shared behind-the-scenes footage, both of him in the hospital and then training on workout machines after getting out.
