https://wrestlingnews.co/wwe-news/kevin-nash-provides-health-update-says-irregular-heartbeatWWE Hall of Famer Kevin Nash provided a significant update on his health during the latest episode of his “Kliq This” podcast. Responding to a fan’s question about a recent stress test he underwent, Nash revealed that his cardiologist discovered evidence of a possible previous heart issue and diagnosed him with a current condition that will require a procedure.
Nash explained that the tests showed a small amount of scar tissue on his heart, which his doctor said could indicate a minor, undiagnosed cardiac event from decades ago.
“My cardiologist said that I could have had… a minor heart attack like 20 years ago,” Nash said. “The scar tissue on my heart was like 3%, like a 3% scar. He said that could be genetic. It could have been during the procedure of putting the stent… it was in the back of your heart.” Nash had a stent put in his heart approximately 20 years ago.
He also compared his situation to that of his late father. “When they gave my dad his autopsy, he had had like four [heart attacks] before the fifth one killed him,” Nash shared. “So just kind of working through them.”
In addition to the discovery of the old scar tissue, the recent tests also revealed a current, treatable condition. “The only problem you got right now is you’ve got a little bit of an irregular heartbeat,” Nash recalled his doctor telling him.
He confirmed that he is scheduled to undergo a procedure to correct the issue. “He said, ‘We’re gonna zap you and put you back in rhythm.’ So that’s my next thing,” Nash stated.
