Can you have heart valve surgery for cirrhosis

Patients with cirrhosis are usually able to have heart valve surgery. For patients with liver cirrhosis, having heart valve surgery will usually not affect their condition because it aims to improve the discomforts caused by heart diseases, such as angina pectoris, panic, shortness of breath, tightness in the chest and rapid heartbeat caused by insufficient blood supply to the heart muscle, and it will not affect the control and recovery of cirrhosis in the course of treatment. However, if patients with liver cirrhosis need to have heart valve surgery, they should go to the hospital for examination as soon as possible, and the doctor will also decide the specific surgical plan and the relevant time to do the surgery according to the patient’s condition, and they should also cooperate with the doctor to take medication or suspend some medications that are not favorable to the surgery before the surgery. Before heart valve surgery, cirrhosis patients should also develop good living habits as well as dietary habits, and try not to smoke, drink alcohol, eat spicy and stimulating foods.
