"Arnold Schwarzenegger has undergone emergency open-heart surgery ... TMZ has learned.
Sources connected to Arnold tell TMZ, the 70-year-old Schwarzenegger went to Cedars-Sinai Thursday for a catheter valve replacement. We're told the surgery is somewhat experimental and he developed complications.
Doctors were prepared in case the catheter valve replacement failed ... and quickly decided Arnold needed emergency open-heart surgery, which we're told lasted several hours.
This is not the first time Arnold has gone under the knife for heart surgery. He had an aortic valve replaced in 1997. At the time doctors didn't feel the procedure was urgently needed, but Arnold decided to do it while he was still young. He also said at the time the condition was congenital and had nothing to do with steroids.
As for his condition ... we're told he's stable."

As of late Friday morning, his condition following the operation was described as stable.

Thank god this was predisposed and not past bodybuilding related

too much d-bol. estrogen methyl-estradiol is dangerous.

Will this put the terminator reboot on hold?

One thing you can say for the man he was truly self made best self promoting man alive...well for now :-X
-
All the best to him, but I’d imagine he’s not long for this world.
And how in the fuck is he gonna be written into a Terminator reboot? He looks like a stumbling corpse. Hell, his presence as a Terminator in that shitty Claire Danes outing was pathetic, and that was, what, 15 years ago?!
Maybe he can portray an alternative model. Say, a Terminator Twink.
-
He had to have both the pulmonic and aortic valves replaced do to a bad decision to do a Ross procedure last time. His problem aortic valve was replaced with his own pulmonary valve. A pulmonary allograft (valve taken from a cadaver) was then used to replace the his pulmonary valve.
This failed post op and one of the valves was redone (likely pulmonic).
This time they attempted to replace the pulmonic using a catheter based approach. That failed so they cracked his chest.
At least he went to Cedars this time and not USC.

I'm not surprised, the cath approach has it's limitations.

Your correct. It was supposed to be for high risk patents. I used to work for Edwards Lifesciences who developed it.

That's pretty cool. I've been on their site before. How successful is this procedure?
-
The original valve replacement outlived its expectancy, it was always on the cards he'd be having heart surgery again.
Apprarantly he's awake and in good spirits
-
heart disease is the number 1 killer of humans, so why are tons of people dying from heart disease that are younger than arnold if steroids are to blame?

-

It's received FDA approval and it's cool to see performed live either through the femoral artery or small rib cut. It's meant for high risk patients because of potential complications and not being able to fully debride the failing valve. Preparing the root has always been key to a successful valve replacement.
Risks
Transcatheter aortic valve (not pulmonic) replacement (TAVR) carries a risk of complications, which may include:
Bleeding
Blood vessel complications
Problems with the replacement valve, such as the valve slipping out of place or leaking
Stroke
Heart rhythm abnormalities (arrhythmias)
Kidney disease
Heart attack
Infection
Death

guys , if arnold dies there will be no more asc, so basically the "pros" will be competing for shitty low prize money forever !

At this age being 70 steroids or not, that’s pretty long life
Franco is older and still alive a long with many others in that era
Whats going to be interesting is seeing guys from the 90’s era and so on

I wish him the best. He is the most influential and arguably the best bodybuilder who ever lived.

Bingo. I can't even fathom how many women Arnold gave cunnilingus to over the years. Lucky guy. Love that scent. I consider you and Arnold to be the #2 best men for being granted the opportunity by women to do that.
Georges St-Pierre posted this photo with Arnold only around four hours ago, late on Friday night 3/30/2018. I am not sure when the photo itself was taken though. On a side note, given that Georges is 5'10.5" with a shaved head, I think we can safely say that Arnold is around 6'0 today, down from his peak height of 6'1.5".
Wishing a speedy recovery to one of my idols Arnold Schwarzenegger who got surgery today - You are the Terminator and nothing can stop you bro 👊🔥👍 Keep it up!
-
The best bodybuilder (drugged) of all time and even when you take into account true naturals, Arnold is better than Reeves. But Arnold without his little helpers gets his ass kicked by Steve Reeves.
But the Oak is a shitass libtard in the real world. Fuck him all the way to Hell.
-
Arnold died sometime after 1995. His movie career started to tank. He became another corrupt cronyism politician. Started to make movies again all which sucked major sweaty balls.Then he tries ever so hard to be relevant by making dumb statements about how we should live.
Arnold came out of his closet telling people to support transgender then he tells everybody to become vegan, then he tried to take on Trump (getting his ass handed to him) then he wants to take on oil companies.
All of Arnold's health issues are related to his lifestyle issues. I do not believe for one second that any of his heart issues are genetic defects. Utter bullshit. The talk around the heart surgeons In my area (We have the number 2 heart specialist in the country in my area) was not along the same lines as the version presented to the media in1997.
I do not wish him bad health or death in anyway. My wish is that he gets fully ignored by those that matter and laughed ino silence. He is the last person on earth that should tell anyone how to live, what to eat, what to drive. He is nothing more than an attention seeking hypocrite asshole. Whom has fucked over and back stabbed anybody in his way to getting what he wanted in this life. Fuck Arnold.

True he is the best drugged bodybuilder of all time. I thought that was a given and didn't have to be said. He is a RINO and hid is radical liberalism. I don't wish him death or illness though. I agree, without the drugs he wouldn't be able to stand next to Steve Reeves on a stage. That goes for all of today's drug champs.

Yup. Reeves was superb. Arnold too, but he needed the drugs to be "Arnold".
Hopefully Arnold is the last "white RINO" in existence and they will go extinct at his life's end. ;) ;D Actually, I hope all RINOs go the way of the Dodo, LOL! Democrats in disguise, the lot of 'em. ;D

Beta Annie is no different than this POS
-
People get so wound up, i don't give 2 shits what he says about eating meat now, or his politics, I don't listen to that guff he's spouting. Hes still acheived great things and been a positive influence to many in bodybuilding, people here acting like he's stolen from their grandmas purse.

The point is he is a hypocrite, an asshole at that. He uses his influence for pure shit, tells people to do things he does the opposite. I don't give two shits about his positive influence in bodybuilding. What he is doing now is erasing his legacy.

You a doctor? You have no idea what you're talking about. We do these procedures daily where I work, and it had nothing to do with his past steroid use, period.

Seems a bunch of the old 80s n 90s guys are doing straight to video/Redbox movies. Saw a couple with him and Bruce Willis as well. Odd. Going from 20mil a film to maybe a mil?

Getting a million dollars for a movie when you are a 70 yo "pensioner" doesn't seem that bad.

arnold has only had one movie turn a profit in the past 20 years and that was t3 and pryor to t3 his movies were mostly bombs, he is nothing more now than an attention whore

Why the hell does his height matter? No one is mentioning height here...
-
Some here on Getbig are nutty for peoples’ height. Weird.
I’ve met Arnold on a few occasions and spoken with him on the phone. He’s pleasant. But then again, he knew I was one of Bob Kennedy’s (his longtime friend) boys, so who knows how genuine he was.

WTF is this obsession with peoples exact height
What difference does it make
He maybe only 5’10.37289614196512496125678910
Not the supposed 5’10.37289614196512496125678915
That is often reported.... ::)

He left the normal crowd long ago(late 70ies maybe) - it's part of being an establishment man.

Where did they meet up? The 1987 Memorial of Interior Design Disasters? Jesus what a room.
Anyway, good luck to Arnold and I hope you find a twat to lick, Matt.

So how long did it take you to sew Arnold back Up? 🤣🤣🤣 all of the heart disease running rampant in this nation from cholesterol, smoking, drugs, steroids. Yet Arnold was the one who would be perfect without the defect. All the years he was literally swallowing d bol pills like candy from age 15 to 40 had nothing to do with it? Do you not think his so called defect would have shown up sometime under all that stress and pressure he put on his heart before this?

Who really knows the exact cause or causes of his heart disease
Likely many contributory elements.
We as humans are not immortal ( though we tend to think we are especially when younger)
Isn’t it a fine balance between trying to enjoy what we like with what potentially could harm us
In later years.
Drinking / smoking / recreational drugs / PEDs / Poor diet / workday stress / environmental pollution /
Lack of sleep / and a whole lot more can damage our hearts & health.
Someone with clinical heart knowledge could probably shed a lot more light.
-

Maybe so, but Arnold himself has made tons of money off those "flops".
"Nothing more" than an attention whore? Whatever you say, champ. He's one of the best
known personalities on this planet and his accomplishments are legendary. You'd be hard
press to find anyone more successful is so many different fields. He is, in fact, a living
legend.

I tend to agree with you. Many elements in one man's life can effect ones health. Maybe Arnold really does have a genetic defect. My main thrust of my comment to this so called expert was he is not Arnold's doctor so what he says about the issue means nothing. Same as what I say means nothing. It's all bullshit comments on a forum. ;D
-
The same defect finished off arnolds mum, arnold urged her to have the proceedure

It's the same bull shit every time a bodybuilder gets sick. The fans of steroids rush in to say it had nothing to do with it.

Legendary accomplishments? Let's not get carried away here. Sure, he was a great bodybuilder and action movie star. But that was over 20 years ago.
Since then he was a pretty lousy governor and he put great shame on his family by siring a bastard son with the maid. Not exactly the behavior of a "living legend".

Yes, this. As for his accomplishments being legendary. He was a movies star and a shitty govoner of a bankrupt state. A movie star is hardly an accomplishment worth bragging about. They dress up and play fantasy stories out making a truckload of money. Is that something that should make a man better than another? He won bodybuilding shows and collected trophies prancing around in his underwear in front of teenage boys and gay men.
Now had Arnold really accomplished true greatness in life I would give him a pass on his discretion and his telling the rest of the world how to live. True greatness would be accomplished by helping the overall condition of mankind to advancement above its current level.
So far all Arnold has accomplished is to star in "B" movies, brag about his possessions wealth, looks, charisma, mental strength, and bang women and grope women around the world. Fathering a bastard Guatemalan son from his live in maid publicly drawing shame to his children and wife. He went off the radar and hid for many weeks while the media chewed through this. Only to come back and try to face the music through an interview to which he did not look sincere and truly opening up to his actions. He accomplished everything he set out to do, I give him that. Yet I do not see any one of his accomplishments being legendary. More like selfish self centered narcissistic accomplishments. His charity work and such with the special Olympics was a par for course to get into politics. More bullshit

well he's 70, how old does a guy have to be before people blame health problems on just old age?
isn't life expectancy early 70's for men? living to 100 isn't the norm no matter what lifestyle you lived

Nelson Mandela should have died in prison. Arnold sure hugged Nelson nuts for political stance however.

Arnold's Heart surgery news hasn't been on mainstream media as much as I would have expected .
Like it has been barely mentioned ;(

arnold is arguably the most alpha man to ever live, he inspired and entertained all of us yet many of you are shitting on him because he got old and has health problems that come with old age
you guys kicking him when he's down remind of a youtube video i saw where the alpha lion of a pride got old and sick, then the smaller beta male lions ganged up on him and killed him
those beta lions didn't dare challenge him when he was young and strong
bunch of beta males, all of you

Great post, Earl.
Recently I spoke to a long-term friend of mine [who I have known since 1989, when I was seven]. I asked him if his dad's birthday was in July, and he wasn't sure if it was. I then mentioned his parents' ages and he said "Sucks that they are getting old."
I noticed he didn't say that they were getting "older", which we are all getting, but "old" - as in, they are both in the twilight of their lives.
It's funny how some people don't seem to understand that we are all getting older - as we speak - and that no one is immune to getting old. Indeed, you could say the lucky ones actually live a long life and get old [assuming they have a high quality of life, you could look at it as being lucky], whereas some others are not so lucky, and they die young - they get older until the day they day, but they die young, missing out on the chance to actually get old.
I think eventually those who seem to think that they are immune to aging will understand why it's not cool to make fun of others who go through what we will all eventually go through.
Although I suppose it is possible that human beings may eventually be able to overcome the reality of aging and death - but even then, our star will eventually burn out. There is also simulation theory to contend with - although that begs the question as to whether or not we are simulations of simulations - i.e., despite Elon Musk's penchant for the idea, it does not account for infinite regression:

Has nothing to do with him being old and weak. Your alpha beta argument is high school.

Compare Arnold's life to any of his detractors here. None of you
have come, or will ever come, even remotely close to his accomplishments. Even his "B" movies far, far exceed what
you will ever make in your lifetime. Just winning the governorship in

these "people" on here are exactly whats wrong with getbig. they put arnold down. they dont lift probably never have. they come on here just to argue and be dick heads. always trying to get someone pissed off so they can "combat" them on line. anyone who has ever picked up a weight for any reason has always said "arnold". probably always will. he has done more for bodybuilding and general fitness than anyone else ever has. before arnold very few were bodybuilders very few gyms were around supplements clothes etc were practically non existent. he made being a bodybuilder cool. accepted. he said everything he was gonna do with his life and he did just as he said. it was written BEFORE he did it not after. so to you punk ass bitches who put him down please just go kill yourself. yes he has made mistakes who hasnt. so he doesnt look like "arnold" back in the day. hes old. clint eastwood is too but who would fuck with clint? no go back to your mommys basement have her make you a sandwich and put milk in your sippy cup and when your done throw a rope over therafters put it around your neck and jump off a chair.

Compare Arnold's life to any of his detractors here. None of you
have come, or will ever come, even remotely close to his accomplishments. Even his "B" movies far, far exceed what
you will ever make in your lifetime. Just winning the governorship in
the State of California -- twice, cements his legacy.
His legacy may well be cemented but his politics and his dalliances are twin sledgehammers that will smash them to bits among those that actually care about their own lives. Just because people loath his turning libtard doesn't mean we no longer consider him to be the best bodybuilder ever.

Yes arnold has made money and fame, more than any of us. If that is your scale for success your mind is shallow.

what is your scale? I'm not trying to pick an argument but your response caused me to think about what success should look like if immigrating to a country, becoming the best at something in the world, being elected Governor of a state, highly paid action hero isn't considered successful.

I think it is you who betrays the shallow mind. Arnold has made thousands of people rich and successful in ways you cannot imagine. Because of him people have been able to support themselves and raise families. A couple of years ago they did a story on a guy who made a living just doing Arnold impressions. And the amount of lives he's touched and inspired is on a level
you will never approach even if you had ten life times.
Arnold, despites his flaws and human failings, has done far more good in this world then you ever will sitting on getbig criticizing him.

It's not hard to become a lousy politician in the West. You just need to have enough money behind you.

sounds like a shit son, doesn't know when his fathers birthday is...
Rofl! Yeah...I was surprised that he didn't know. The funny thing is, both his younger brother and his father were born in July...I just wanted to know the date! :) His older brother was born in June, and he was born in May. I don't know why he would have forgotten not online his dad's birthday, but even his birth month...stuff like this reminds me that I am a lot better with numbers and dates than most people. What's more is that his mother is born in April [her month of birth I'm not 100% confident about, as I am with the others, but I think it's around April]. So basically all of their birthdays are within a 3-4 month period of time. This year, his mother is turning 73, and his father is turning 76.
Shit son indeed. ;D But a good guy despite that...I hope human beings eventually "solve" aging.

Really? Many wealthy people have tried and failed. Nothing is easier than to dimish another person's success when you have no idea what it takes to gain that success. And it is far, far easier to become rich than to be Governor of California. Neither of which you have done.

what else does he have to do to reach your standards for success "eric"?
i can't think of a man more successful, if you want to argue some billionaire or whatever i'd rather be the best bodybuilder and action star than some guy that spent his entire life working and wearing a suit and tie all day
he made tons of money while having tons of fun and inspiring and entertaining people all over the world, you can't beat that
him going into politics was a mistake, he gave up his perfect life for the suit and tie but him being elected was just another major accomplishment for him

Greatest bodybuilder ever? Yup. But he's still a fucktard liberal now, so no, I don't give a fook about his health. If he continues down his libtard path, he can go the way of the Dodo for all real conservatives care. He's the one destroying his "legacy" by sucking up to democraps. FTN.
-
Yep, Arnold was the greatest bodybuilder. He was the shit in the 1980s action movies. He made a shit ton of money, became a politician. He was all and did all these things. Does not mean I have to like him. Does not mean I cannot criticize him. He was awesome back in his heyday, I will agree. My problem is his hypocracy in telling the world how to live while he sits on his high horse doing the exact opposite.
You guys on here who cry because some of us dare to call him out on his shit? You ask what we have done with our lives? What have we accomplished? You state his many accomplishments and money as though it where all that matters in life. Well if that's how you feel then I ask you, what have you done that is so impressive then? By your own standards you are losers because you are not like Arnold.
Yes guys like Arnold are maybe one in 500 million on earth. That is why none of us will ever be like him in terms of his success. I don't give a rat's ass for him and his ideology. Had he kept his mouth shut and stayed an entertainer he would be more likeable in my opinion. Had he lived his life the way he preaches he would be more admired and believable. As it is the evidence points towards an egotistical, washed up, attention seeking ass. A man who still craves the limelight, yet his own ego has cracked his empire he spent so long building.

Oh please. He has a right to his own opinions. Is there some sort of law that says he has to keep his mouth shut on things he cares about. I don’t listen to the opinions of celebrities to shape my own opinions, but if they want to express their opinions, nobody needs to stop them. It doesn’t make their accomplishments as actors or musicians or bodybuilders or whatever any the less. I don’t like Kid Rock’s views but some of his music is pretty cool. I don’t sit around worrying about whether I like him or dislike him as a person.

He can have all the opinions he wants. They are after all like assholes, everybody has one. What Arnold has that most do not is a platform and political history, and cronies to influence to make changes that you and I may some day have to adhere to while guys like him will not have to. See the difference. I do not give a shit about opinions until they are ones that can influence change that I do not agree with.

It's not that Arnold is not successful, but rather that he's full of shit and wants to crap all over everyone's lawn and then call it "fertilizer". He's so "green" now...Fuck that noise.

Only getbiggers can make something out of nothing lol.
Is Arnold successful? Yes.
Is Arnold rich? Yes
Is Arnold one of the best bodybuilders ever?yes.
Is Arnold a famous action star? Yes.
Whether you agree with his politics or not, does not take away from the above accomplishments. One way or another, I don’t pay any attention to Arnold’s political opinions. I still enjoy his movies.

Likewise I don’t know or remotely care about his political opinion
Personally I see him as being a very successful man in his chosen fields
One of the very best bodybuilders ever
Brought a little know underground “sport” to main stream attention
Boosting the income of pro’s along the way
Went into films & appeared in lead roles in some very entertaining ones
Was probably the highest paid actor at his peak
Then into politics gained 2 terms as governor of California
All this coming from a small town in Austria & without changing his surname
Plus having his accent.
All in all I’d say that qualifies as doing very well.

Really. Are we going to have political tags on each competitor at the Arnold Classic or at the IFBB Podunk? What the hell do their political opinions have to do with their accomplishments in bodybuilding? Since their number is in front, we could put a T or C on the back of their thong to let us know if they voted for Clinton or Trump.

Nice back pedalling. The issue was never about whether one likes Arnold or not. That's a separate issue.
It whether he is considered a success or not. And, of course, I have never done anything as impressive as Arnold and never will. In fact, I have never done anything impressive -- period. But I am not the
one criticizing or questioning Arnold's vast accomplishments in life.
Arnold always craved the limelight. Always wanted to be the center of attention. Never made any bones
about it. That's one of the reasons he is as he is. And lol @ "his own ego has cracked his empire" Arnold
is doing fine and enjoying life to the fullest as he always has. And Arnold is plenty liked and admired and
and completely indifferent to whether or not you find him likeable. You know who he is, his life and all that he has done while he is not even aware someone like you even exists.
-
Good post, nothing can take away from arnolds success, he's accomplished everything he set out to do, simple as that and a political view or shagging the maid won't change that.
When people say he should retire arnold asks retire from what? having fun?, again, ignoring The naysayers, the man truly loves life and lives it to the max.

I think he's is the best built man of all time, including both sides of the fence that is natural and drugged (although I think if Arnold were natural Steve Reeves kicks his ass, LOL!). But in the last few years he's gone total libtardian and I can't abide that shit ergo, he can go intercourse himself.
It's just how I think. He betrayed my vote (and all the confidence in him that implied) so I scorn him for what he has chosen to become. A fucking lib.

I wonder what changed / caused him to go the libtard route
Perhaps its just a facade to make himself stay relevant & popular
In MSM

Seeking to remain relevant drives a great many people to do whatever it takes to see their name in the news. Being liberal means always having to say you're sorry. No thanks.

The first time Arnold had heart surgery in the 90's I sent a damn get well card to him. Hated hearing it, even shook me a little bit. Today's Arnold, I absolutely had NO emotion one way or the other.
I don't wish anything bad on the man. But he's certainly not someone to look up to in the man he is today.
I even worked with him on a movie doing stunts back in the day. Seemed like a great guy till that Kennedy kin warped his brain.

I remember watching an old Bruce Lee documentary in the 90s, at the end one of the persons interviewed put a positive note on Bruce dying so young. "That man will never grow old".
I too am not a fan of old Arnold. He could have taken a more Clint Eastwood turn and really cemented his legacy if he chose too. But seeing him look and sound so weak in that recent video was still very jarring. If he never confronted his mortality before, I'd say he definitely has now.

Does Arnold fear death? In the Pumping Iron outtakes he said that he feared the unknown.
PS - Death must come.

Arnold isn't comfortable with death, he said in an interview he's not happy with it all just being suddenly over.

I know almost all people are shot at 70 but i know two people that have changed my mind. One is a guy I worked with. He would on occasion run a charity type 5K once in awhile barely logging training miles. He retired to Florida with his wife then his wife died. He was in Florida feeling alone. He joined a running club for the companionship. He took training so serious he became an elite age bracket champion. If I'm not mistaken I think last year or the year before he was the World Champion in points from competing in Marathons around world in his age bracket. In his 70's he was running low 3 hour times. He goes deep sea fishing and has a young girlfriend. He's vibrant and healthy.
Another is a guy at my gym. Always lifting very heavy weights in his early 70's. Looks much younger than his age. While the other old men lift like old men he really kills it. I don't know how his joints held up.
Both of these guys have a strong speaking voices. It seems so many as they age get the old man voice and have no strength and energy. I don't know if it will be me but I'm trying. Lifted hard yesterday for back/chest and ran two miles today with heavy bag work. Tomorrow is legs.

Both of these guys have a strong speaking voices. It seems so many as they age get the old man voice and have no strength and energy. I don't know if it will be me but I'm trying. Lifted hard yesterday for back/chest and ran two miles today with heavy bag work. Tomorrow is legs.
What age are you
I’m just helping my friend back in the gym 5wks after a triple heart by pass
His arteries were clogged though his heart very strong - surgeon said it’s what
Kept him Alive as he’d suffered 2 heart attack’s in the previous wks & didnt
Recognise he’d had them.
He’s 69 and a very lean muscular physique looks at least 10/15 years younger
Than he is.

Aging sucks:
I think he looks great here for someone his age. Just go to any public place, say a mall, and just
look at the parade of fatties shuffling by, most of them chewing on some snack.

Aging sucks:
Only really bad thing is his hair color, no beard and that he looks "collapsed". Maybe a new anti aging treatment with a medical, light weight steam roller could help him regain some of his statue.
