Patient's question:
At the age of 40, I developed rheumatoid arthritis, with frequent flare-ups of pain and inflammation. Additionally, I experience chest pain, insufficient blood supply, and frequent heart palpitations, even heart failure. After a thorough examination and treatment, it was diagnosed as mitral valve regurgitation. Following surgery, I had my mitral valve replaced. However, why is my heart palpitation still severe?Doctor's answer:
Now you have mitral valve regurgitation and have undergone mitral valve surgery. This situation requires a follow-up examination to assess the new function of the mitral valve. If this surgery is not successful, it is normal for you to experience atrial fibrillation again. If the surgery is successful, you should get out of bed and start moving as soon as possible to prevent another embolism from occurring in any part of your body. At the same time, you will need to take anticoagulant medication and medication to expand your cardiovascular system. Your heart function needs to gradually improve, so you should gradually increase your physical activity.
