According to your description, she has developed acute pulmonary edema due to mitral stenosis, which can lead to death in severe cases. Therefore, it is necessary to undergo medical drugs**, stabilize the condition, and then perform surgery as soon as possible**. If she is resistant to surgery**, if the mitral valve is elastic and there is no thrombosis, she chooses medical interventional balloon dilation surgery**, which is minimally invasive and is no problem for older people.

64 years old is not very big, and this situation can not be life-threatening soon. Therefore, it is necessary to have surgery**. The quality of life of patients can be greatly improved after surgery.

Regarding the surgery for valvular disease, the effect is positive, and the success rate is 93% to 97%.

The long-term effect of surgery is also relatively good. However, there are still some issues to be aware of after valve surgery.

First, take a break for a period of time after surgery, heart surgery is a major surgery, in the past, it was said that the muscles and bones were injured for 100 days, and generally the rest was three months to half a year.

Second, to strengthen nutrition in the early postoperative period, it does not mean to eat delicacies and seas every day, nor does it mean to eat supplements every day, everyone should have a balanced nutrition, eat more meat, eat more fruits and vegetables.

Third, the doctor will prescribe some drugs according to your condition, the original heart is relatively large or the original heart function is relatively poor, this kind of patient generally has to take drugs for a period of time after surgery, at least three months to half a year, these drugs must listen to the doctor's best to take cardiotonic, diuretic or vasodilator drugs.

Fourth, anticoagulants, whether it is a biological valve or a mechanical valve, the biological valve is generally required to take anticoagulants for at least three months for half a year, and the mechanical valve should be taken for a lifetime. If you eat too much, your blood will clot, and if you eat too little, your blood will bleed, or you will have heavy menstrual bleeding.

Some patients even have cerebral hemorrhage.

Frequent blood tests are required. As for how often to be tested, generally at least once or twice a week when you are just discharged from the hospital, within a month of just being discharged from the hospital, once a week after being stable, once every two weeks, more stable after half a year, and then lengthened in the future, and once in the next three months.

Sixth, the mechanical valve may do some examinations Sometimes it is necessary to pay attention to a point, after replacing the mechanical valve, you can't do MRI, and you should remind the doctor.

How long does it last after the valve is replaced?

Hello, after heart valve replacement surgery, conditioning needs to be carried out gradually according to the patient's time and recovery. Generally, after valve replacement, you need to rest for 3-6 months, during the rest period, you can take a walk, slight housework activities, should gradually increase the amount of activity, and at the same time maintain a happy mood after discharge, maintain an optimistic and positive attitude and firm beliefs, you can participate in some relaxed entertainment activities, do not be impatient and worried, and facilitate faster **. After discharge, the individual's eating habits can be gradually restored, and the water consumption should be appropriately controlled in the early postoperative period, and alcohol abuse and smoking should be avoided.

Pay attention to increase nutrition, replenish protein and vitamins. Do not eat foods that are too salty. Patients with poor cardiac function should limit their water intake and should not eat large amounts of porridge and soup.

In addition, although the patient's symptoms have been significantly improved after valve replacement, in order to maintain the good heart function, maintain the normal operation of the prosthetic valve, and prevent various complications after valve replacement. Therefore, after valve replacement, regular re-examination is also very important in order to understand the effect and recovery of the problem, so as to find the problem in time. I hope you find my answer helpful and I wish you good health and happiness.

Generally, people who change heart valves are people with very poor heart function ·· The most common in China is simple mitral stenosis·· In other words, if the mitral valve is replaced, I guess that the prosthetic valve is very different from the valve itself.

Although it can alleviate the symptoms to a large extent, if you have money in the family, you should continue to take care of him as a person with a level 2 heart function, don't let him work, go to play Tai Chi every day, and then read books and newspapers, eat a reasonable diet, and you must quit smoking... Drinking must also be abolished... After eating, walk a hundred steps and live to ninety-nine.

Hello, take a look at our space.

Before the operation of heart valve disease, it is necessary to improve the examination, such as B-ultrasound, electrocardiogram, etc., depending on the results of the examination**, such as the use of polarization fluid to improve cardiac function, pay attention to 24-hour urine output, use diuretics to excrete excess water in the body, and pay attention to replenish the lost electrolytes, if there is a thrombus in the atrium, anticoagulation is required, if there is no thrombosis, it is not necessary to take drugs. Valvular disease is most likely accompanied by atrial fibrillation, and care should be taken to prevent arrhythmias.

Bioprosthetic valves and mechanical valves have their own advantages and disadvantages, which need to be considered comprehensively according to the patient's gender, age, and own requirements.

After the operation, you should go through a rest period of at least half a year, avoid physical labor, regularly recheck the blood PT value to adjust the dose of anticoagulant drugs, and do not eat foods containing VITK. Generally, when you are discharged from the hospital, the doctor will explain the precautions for you.
