Patient's question:
How long can a person live after suffering from rheumatic heart disease?Doctor's answer:
Hello, welcome to consult. Rheumatic heart valve disease, surgical relief mainly involves valve manipulation. The duration of life after surgery is closely related to the postoperative cardiac function status. If the heart function fully recovers after surgery, without severe arrhythmia events, and the cardiac function is relatively good, and the medication is taken regularly, then long-term life can be achieved. If the heart function is poor, it is often at risk of life-threatening complications due to malignant arrhythmias or heart failure.
