Chelsea Green has shared an important health update by revealing that she underwent a heart procedure after years of living with tachycardia. In her Instagram post, the wrestler wrote that doctors finally detected her problem after 10 years and that, three hours later, she was already in the recovery process.

SVT stands for supraventricular tachycardia, a form of arrhythmia that causes a fast or irregular heartbeat in the upper chambers of the heart. Although Green did not explain the exact procedure, the treatment could have been an ablation, which is used to correct abnormal rhythms using cold or thermal energy.

The posted image showed her smiling in the hospital bed next to her husband Matt Cardona, and she made it clear that she is already focused on healing. In the message, she also thanked for the support received and hinted that the next step is to continue recovering calmly.

This new medical issue comes after months in which Green was out of action due to an ankle injury, a period in which she was often seen in a wheelchair and accompanied by Alba Fyre. After Fyre's departure from WWE, Green appeared alone on SmackDown and hinted at an alliance with Tiffany Stratton against Kiana James and Giulia.

Her last match resulted in a defeat against Tiffany Stratton in a qualifying match for Elimination Chamber in February, and since then her physical condition has been far from normal. However, this Monday's update suggests that, at least in terms of her heart, an important step has already been taken in her recovery.
