Patient: In May 2009, he went to the Second Affiliated Hospital of Shanxi Medical University for examination due to chest pain. The heart ultrasound showed that the aortic valve was not closed, moderate, and the mitral valve was not closed, mild, and had been reviewed 2 times. The doctor suggested early surgery, how to treat and how long does it take to recover? Doctor: Aortic valve incompetence, in general, the heart can make a very good compensation, not necessarily very early surgery. The important factor in deciding whether to operate is whether the patient has symptoms, shortness of breath after activity, fainting or angina, any one of the three should be treated surgically. Surgery should also be performed if the echocardiogram shows a left ventricular end-diastolic internal diameter greater than 70 mm or a decreased ejection fraction (less than 60%).
