Heart valves can generally survive for about a couple decades after surgery. The survival time is relatively high and is mainly based on a variety of reasons such as the duration of the heart valve surgery and the patient’s physical fitness, but it is important to have regular checkups and to replace the valves in a timely manner under the guidance of a doctor. Heart valves refer to the valves between the atria and the ventricles or between the ventricles and the arteries. If there is damage to the valves, the damaged valves need to be repaired through heart valve surgery, and if the symptoms are more serious, valve replacement is usually taken. If the heart function remains normal after the valve replacement, the life expectancy of the patients is usually about the same as that of normal people. After surgery, avoid strenuous exercise, keep a relaxed mind, do not have too much psychological pressure, eat more fresh fruits and vegetables, pay attention to nutritional supplements, and pay attention to rest. Meanwhile, you need to have regular checkups after the operation, and carry out the next treatment according to the doctor’s advice.
