Heart valve surgery is heart valve surgery. The recovery time after heart valve surgery needs to be analyzed according to the specific situation.
If the patient is young, good physical fitness, small surgical wound, and intensive care after surgery, recovery is faster, generally in about 1 week. However, if the patient is older, poor physical fitness, relatively large surgical wound, and postoperative care does not pay attention to infection, the recovery speed is slower, may be about 2 months.
In short, heart valve surgery requires a certain recovery time, patients need rehabilitation treatment and care according to the doctor's recommendations.
