Steve-O Dying???

Steve-o, known to the world through Jackass and Wildboyz, has said that he has a life-threatening heart condition.

'Jackass' and 'Wildboyz' star Steve-O was the guest host on the radio show 'Loveline' Tuesday night and opened the show by announcing that he has been diagnosed with cardiomyopathy, which is the deterioration of the function of the heart muscle, meaning the heart becomes less efficient at pumping blood. People with cardiomyopathy are often at risk of arrhythmia and sudden cardiac death, and treatments can even include a heart transplant or implanting a type of defibrillator. Steve-O said:

"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.' "

How would something like that "correct itself?" That's freaky.

But I guess you can't jump off high places and do other weird sorts of things for that long without SOMETHING happening to slow your ass down. Take care of yourself, Steve-o!
