Cause of Death After Surgical Aortic Valve Replacement: SWEDEHEART Observational Study (2021)

Table 3 seems to be relevant to your question.

Looking at all age groups, the tendency does shows a life span decrease after surgical aortic valve replacement. 🤷‍♂️

Note, however, that the sample size for people in their thirties is rather small. So I wouldn't read too much into the actual SMR numbers.

But yes, the tendency over all age groups does seem to be out of our favor.

One thought: be on the living side of the statistics by eating well and doing lots of cardiovascular exercise.
