Chelsea Green has further commented on undergoing a heart procedure after a decade-long battle with supraventricular tachycardia, with a frightening episode during WrestleMania 42 weekend finally giving doctors the opportunity to identify and treat the condition.
Green posted on Twitter to share the news with fans, offering a more detailed account than her initial Instagram update.
“After 10 years of dealing with it, we finally caught my SVT. My latest episode during WrestleMania pushed my resting heart rate to 228 for almost 15 minutes. Yesterday, Dr. Girgis spent 3 hours working on me, and I had to be awake for the last hour of the procedure. Thankfully it was minimally invasive and I’ll be back to work very soon,” Green wrote.
She initially shared the news on Instagram alongside a photo of herself in a hospital bed with her husband Matt Cardona at her side, with both smiling in the image.
Supraventricular tachycardia is a heart rhythm condition that causes the heart to suddenly beat abnormally fast, typically over 150 beats per minute. Green’s WrestleMania episode reached 228 BPM and lasted nearly 15 minutes, a medically significant event. The standard treatment for recurring SVT is catheter ablation, which uses thin tubes inserted through blood vessels to target and disable the areas of heart tissue responsible for the abnormal rhythm.
WrestlingNews.co wishes Chelsea a full and speedy recovery.
