Description
Heart valve replacement treats severe valve disease—like stenosis or regurgitation—when medication or repair isn’t enough; costs range ¥100,000–¥300,000 in China, with ChinaMedicalHub assisting hospital booking and interpreter support.
Main Uses
The primary purpose of heart valve replacement surgery is to treat severe valvular heart disease, including but not limited to: Aortic stenosis, Mitral regurgitation, Tricuspid regurgitation, and Pulmonary stenosis. It's used when the damage to the valve is too significant for repair, aiming to restore normal blood flow through the heart.
Normal Range
Heart valve replacement surgery does not have a 'normal range' in the traditional sense as it is a surgical procedure, not a test with measurable values. However, post-surgery, indicators such as heart rate (60-100 bpm), blood pressure (90/60 mmHg to 120/80 mmHg), and echocardiogram results showing proper valve function are considered within normal limits.
Low Values - Possible Causes
N/A - Heart valve replacement surgery itself does not produce a value that can be low. However, complications or poor outcomes may arise from: Infection, Valve malfunction, Thrombosis, Hemolysis, or Perivalvular leak.
High Values - Possible Causes
N/A - Heart valve replacement surgery itself does not produce a value that can be high. Complications leading to adverse effects could include: Endocarditis, Prosthetic valve dysfunction, Excessive bleeding, Stroke, or Heart failure.
