What you need to know about Heart Valve Replacement in Alicante

The Heart Valve Replacement is a surgical method employed to treat or correct problems caused by heart valve disease, which can substantially hinder the heart's capacity to circulate blood effectively. It is crucial to comprehend this process if you are diagnosed with any such disorders. Executed by a proficient cardiothoracic surgeon, the Heart Valve Replacement necessitates the replacement of one or more heart valves, which can be either biological or mechanical.

Biological valves are procured from animal tissue, offering the benefit of diminished clotting risks, which in turn minimizes the need for prolonged use of anticoagulants. On the other hand, mechanical valves are constructed from robust substances like carbon that tend to have a longer lifespan, though they do require ongoing anticoagulation treatment.

The preference for biological or mechanical valves largely pivots on various considerations like the patient's age, way of life, health condition, and personal choices, thus making it a vital subject of conversation with the health provider. The Heart Valve Replacement could be achieved using traditional open-heart surgery or less intrusive techniques, contingent on the health condition of the patient and the degree of valve impairment.

What's the Recovery Time for Heart Valve Replacement Procedures in Alicante?

The total recovery period can take about three months or longer and you will need to take things easy at first and gradually increase your activity level. You should be able to drive within six weeks, have sex after four to six weeks, and return to work in six to eight weeks if your job involves light work. Avoid any intense exercises, such as heavy lifting, for three months.
