‘This is crazy’: Susan Lucci reveals she underwent second heart surgery in 3 years

When the “All My Children” star, who played diva Erica Kane on the series, shared how she was feeling with her husband Helmut Huber, he insisted she see her doctor. After undergoing a few tests, her doctor discovered she had an 80% blockage in her heart from calcium and cholesterol and placed another stent in.

Lucci’s doctor, Dr. Richard Shlofmitz, chairman of cardiology at St. Francis Hospital in Roslyn, New York, told “Good Morning America” the actress’s symptoms were subtle and if she had waited any longer it could’ve turned into a more dire emergency.
