Congenital heart disease mitral valves that have been repaired usually do not affect life expectancy.
Congenital mitral valve lesions usually include mitral valve stenosis or insufficient closure due to developmental abnormalities, but are not associated with other cardiac abnormalities. After the repair of the mitral valve is completed through surgical treatment, the hemodynamics of the flow pathway between the left atrium and ventricle of the heart return to normal and are no different from those of a normal person.
In patients with congenital heart disease mitral valve lesions, life expectancy and quality of life are generally not affected as in normal people after early and aggressive treatment, but it is advisable to consult a physician before engaging in strenuous exercise.
It should be noted that even though the life expectancy after congenital mitral valve repair is theoretically the same as that of a normal person, it is necessary to maintain good living habits, enhance immune function, and avoid mitral valve damage caused by acquired diseases. It is important to provide timely feedback to your doctor when any uncomfortable symptoms occur.
