Hey there, friends. Let’s talk about Susan Lucci—yes, the legendary Susan Lucci! Two years ago, she underwent heart surgery, and guess what? She’s thriving now. In an exclusive chat with Closer at the American Heart Association’s Red Dress Collection Concert on January 31, Susan revealed her health has been "wonderful." She even joked that she sometimes forgets she ever had heart issues. "I have to remind myself that I had something going on," she said with a laugh. But here’s the kicker: Susan wasn’t someone who ever thought she’d be at risk for heart disease. She was—and still is—a fitness enthusiast, always keeping herself active. This experience has made her realize how important it is for women to listen to their bodies and not brush off symptoms.
Let’s dive deeper into this. Susan, who’s now 77, wants women everywhere to take note: pay attention to your body and don’t ignore warning signs. "We women tend to think, 'Oh, it’ll go away. I’ll just wait and see. I’m too busy,'" she explained. Sound familiar? We’ve all been there, right? Between taking care of our partners, kids, careers, and homes, we often forget to put ourselves first. "We are not on our own to-do list," Susan emphasized. But here’s the thing: you deserve to be at the top of that list. And Susan? She’s making sure she stays on hers. "I do Pilates and dance. And I have [a project] I’m just beginning, but I can’t talk about it yet," she teased with a wink. "But I will, believe me!"
Why Susan’s Story Matters
You might be wondering why Susan’s story is so important. Well, it’s because heart disease is often overlooked, especially in women. Many women, like Susan, don’t consider themselves at risk, but the truth is, heart disease doesn’t discriminate. Susan had two stent procedures to open up blocked arteries, the first being in 2018. She was blindsided by it, but now she’s using her experience to spread awareness. "If I can help just one woman recognize the signs and take action, then I’ve done my job," she said earnestly.

And while she’s tight-lipped about her new project, we can’t wait to see what she’s cooking up. One thing’s for sure: Susan Lucci isn’t slowing down anytime soon.
Final Thoughts
Susan’s journey is a powerful reminder that health should always be a priority. So, ladies, let’s take a page from her book. Listen to your body, don’t ignore symptoms, and make time for the things that make you happy. After all, you deserve it. Susan’s story isn’t just about her—it’s about all of us. Let’s honor our health and live our best lives.
