While guest-hosting radio show Loveline this week, “Jackass” and “Wildboyz” star Steve-O admitted he is suffering from a life-threatening cardiac condition called cardiomyopathy.
"In no uncertain terms, the doctor looked at me with a really creepy look on his face and he said, 'you have the heart of a 90 year old man'. He said, 'if it doesn't correct itself, you will not live to the age of 40.' "
The American Heart Association stated cardiomyopathy is “a serious disease in which the heart muscle becomes inflamed and doesn't work as well as it should. “ Sufferers may experience arrhythmia and sudden cardiac death.
Loveline doc Drew Pinsky added Steve-O’s treatments may include a heart transplant or getting an electrical defibrillator implanted.
Steve-O’s reps declined comment on his condition, but I’m sure we can anticipate several more years of Steve-O stapling his scrotum to his leg.
