Thanks to the team at the Cleveland Clinic, I have a new aortic valve to go along with my new pulmonary valve from my last surgery. 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! pic.twitter.com/hmIbsEMHtA

"Thanks to the team at the Cleveland Clinic, I have a new aortic valve to go along with my new pulmonary valve from my last surgery," he wrote.
In 2018, the actor underwent heart surgery to replace a pulmonary valve that was first installed in 1997.
Schwarzenegger also posted some photos of himself standing in front of a few monuments in Cleveland.
"I feel fantastic and have already been walking the streets of Cleveland enjoying your amazing statues," he said.
