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-Os treatments may include a heart transplant or getting an electrical defibrillator implanted.
Steve-Os reps declined comment on his condition, but Im sure we can anticipate several more years of Steve-O stapling his scrotum to his leg.
