WWE’s Chelsea Green has shared a personal health update, revealing that she recently underwent a heart procedure after doctors diagnosed her with SVT following a years-long struggle with the condition.
Green posted the news to Instagram on Monday, explaining that doctors were finally able to identify the issue after dealing with symptoms for roughly a decade. She also shared a photo of herself recovering in a hospital bed alongside her husband, fellow wrestling star Matt Cardona.
“After 10 years, doctors finally caught my SVT and I was able to get a heart procedure done! Three hours later and I’m on the mend,” Green wrote in the caption.
SVT, or supraventricular tachycardia, is a heart rhythm condition that can cause episodes of rapid or irregular heartbeat. While the condition is often manageable and not always dangerous on its own, it can lead to symptoms such as dizziness, chest discomfort, or shortness of breath and may require medical treatment depending on severity.
The announcement adds another setback to what has already been a frustrating stretch away from the ring for Green. The former WWE Women’s Tag Team Champion has not competed since February, when she took part in a triple threat qualifying match for the Women’s Elimination Chamber bout. Green teamed with Lash Legend in the losing effort against Tiffany Stratton during that contest.
Following the match, reports surfaced that Green had suffered a broken ankle. By March, word indicated she was nearing medical clearance for the injury, but she has yet to make her WWE return.
There is currently no timetable for when Green could resume in-ring competition following the heart procedure, though her post suggested the operation was successful and that she is already recovering.
Green has become one of WWE’s most entertaining personalities over the past several years, gaining popularity through her comedic timing and over-the-top character work across both “Raw” and “SmackDown.” Fans and wrestlers alike quickly flooded social media with support after her announcement.
