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.

(6,843 posts)Not compared to today's standards. I've seen his cycles. They were short and mostly cypionate and nandrolone. Not heavy steroids at all.

(6,843 posts)Arnold and Ed Courtney as well as Franco Columbo spoke candidly about their cycles.
I am always amazed by those who know nothing about something argue with someone who does...

(6,843 posts)Because I said he did not take MASSIVE amounts, but what would be considered light cycles by today's standards.
I even stated they used primarily cypionate and nandrolone, you then post an article that basically says exactly what I stated.
See, FUCKING Deca Durabolin IS Nandrolone.
You would have known that except you don't have any experience with the drugs.
The article even says "They took low to low-moderate doses".
Really, Everything I stated is true and supported by an article YOU posted, but you are so poorly informed, you did not even realize you substantiated everything I said.
Fucking unreal...

(7,299 posts)That was an accurate statement. Now go away.

(6,843 posts)It's in fucking black and white.
And on edit, just cause this pissed me off...
I know about this because I used to make the powerlifting circuit back on the day. The shit was legal. I know what guys were taking because I took it too.
Furthermore, compared to modern cycles which center around trenbolone and anadrol, this shit is nothing.
AND,
Steroids cause cardiac myopathy, a thickening of the heart muscle. It does shit to the valves

Correct, he did use steroids back in the day; but they were light doses compared to today and not overly toxic substances.
3 most used steroids back then were: dianabol, primobolan and deca durabolin. The last 2 are very mild steroids
