Arnold further opened up about his decision to speak publicly about his procedures.
“I’ve gotten so many messages and emails from people who were born with a bicuspid aortic valve, like me, telling me that talking about my valve replacement surgeries has given them courage and hope to deal with their own," he explained.
“So, since I know that going against my secretive instinct and being transparent helps people, what choice do I have?”
Arnold said he wanted his listeners to know that they "aren't alone."
“And if you’re putting something off out of fear, I hope I inspire you to listen to your doctors and take care of yourself," he added.
