Arnold Schwarzenegger, 76, was born with a heart defect. He underwent a second heart operation in 2020 in order to replace his aortic valve.
Last September, the former governor of California revealed that he had come close to death after a failed heart operation. Doctors advised Schwarzenegger to have a pacemaker fitted as a safety measure due to his previous operations. A week later, the actor let his fans know that he was doing “very well” and that he has become ‘a little bit more a machine’
