Ask questions about heart valve replacement surgery for rheumatic heart disease

The normal opening area of mitral valve is 4-6 cm2, but you are only half of normal, so you will have symptoms of cardiac insufficiency and arrhythmia when you are tired. Although the 24-hour Holter is an occasional multi-source atrial premature beat (about 16), you may have paroxysmal atrial fibrillation at that time, and then your heart rhythm returned to normal.

To sum up, you need a valve replacement operation. Drugs can relieve or even alleviate your symptoms, but with the progress of the disease, surgery is finally needed. When the heart function has just appeared, the operation will recover faster and cost less, so it is recommended that you operate within 1-2 years.

Oral drugs can be used, digoxin half tablets once a day, hydrochlorothiazide and spironolactone once a day.
