How to nurse after mitral valve replacement

First: usually take good anticoagulants, do not do strenuous exercise, the operation itself will not have a very important impact on life. Prosthetic heart valve replacement has a history of more than 40 years. At present, valve replacement is a mature and safe operation, and its mortality is even lower than that of abdominal surgery. Nowadays, prosthetic valves can be divided into mechanical valve and biological valve, which have their own advantages and disadvantages.

Second: when the following problems arise, it is necessary to go to the hospital for reexamination: fever of unknown origin; obvious nervousness and shortness of breath, and edema; cough and foam blood phlegm; icteric jaundice on the sclera and whole body; subcutaneous hemorrhage, hematuria and other bleeding tendency; new arrhythmia occurs; sudden syncope, hemiplegia or lower limb pain, cold and paleness occur. The above situation is very dangerous and should be paid more attention.

Third: take medicine regularly, and take anticoagulants orally once a day. When convalescing at home, the patients should keep the regular life, be in a good mood, keep warm and cold properly, and strictly prevent cold, fatigue, injury, infection and infectious diseases. The diet should be mixed with coarse and fine meat and vegetables. Do not eat too many vegetables or high-fat food, so as not to affect the anticoagulant effect or increase the burden on the heart.
