The star then said, ‘I feel fantastic and have already been walking the streets of Cleveland enjoying your amazing statues. Thank you to every doc and nurse on my team!’
When the aortic valve is not working properly, ‘it can interfere with blood flow and force the heart to work harder to send blood to the rest of the body,’ according to webmd.
The former California governor could be seen in the hospital as well as going for a walk in a track suit.

According to webmd, ‘Aortic valve repair and aortic valve replacement are procedures that treat diseases affecting the aortic valve, one of four valves that control blood flow through the heart.’
The aortic valve helps keep blood flowing in the correct direction through the heart, the site added.
It separates the heart’s main pumping chamber (left ventricle) and the main artery that supplies oxygen-rich blood to your body (aorta), webmd further explained.
‘With each contraction of the ventricle, the aortic valve opens and allows blood to flow from the left ventricle into the aorta. When the ventricle relaxes, the aortic valve closes to prevent blood from flowing backward into the ventricle,’ it was shared.
Aortic valve repair or aortic valve replacement can restore normal blood flow and aid the heart muscle.
It can also add years to a life.
In 2018 he went to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles to have a scheduled catheter valve replacement.
The procedure is said to be risky, and the seven-time Mr Olympia winner developed complications, leading to an emergency open-heart surgery that reportedly lasted several hours.
The actor was last seen 10 days ago in Los Angeles looking healthy.
