This is a quote by Schwarzenegger himself and it is from a trusted Australian website, not from the religious, end-of-dayers, paranoia-inducing American site poster @ssteel quoted from (and is incredibly shy to give a full link!!)
excerpt: "Schwarzenegger said he got the device after doctors found scar tissue from previous surgeries due to a genetic heart condition called bicuspid aortic valve.
Here's what we know so far: What is a bicuspid aortic valve? Known for his physical prowess, it may be a surprise to hear Schwarzenegger was born with a genetic heart condition called bicuspid aortic valve.The abnormality in the aortic valve in the heart means the valve has only two small parts, called leaflets, instead of the normal three, according to John Hopkins. etc. " you can read it up in the link, if you wish to be informed. If not, that's what I expect.
As far as Japan's death statistics are concerned; their population is an aging population - and they live to a ripe old age (and their birth rate has declined). They have the second-oldest population in the world, behind 'Monaco' (which is filled with aging millionaires/billionaires) - hence you would expect their death statistics to reflect that.
