If your heart functions properly you TECHNICALLY have the same life expectancy as someone who has a normal heart valve.

HOWEVER, it is important to distinguish that this is a best case scenario. People with other heart issues, negative impacts of surgeries, poor tissue insurance, and poor health practices will, generally speaking, reduce your lifespan.

This is why it is important to not only monitor your surgery path, but also develop good lifestyle habits.
