Abstract

Successful relief of stenosis or regurgitation of one or more heart valves by primary repair or replacement with a prosthesis may reverse the signs and symptoms of heart failure in most patients. Of the survivors of the operative and postoperative period, approximately four out of every five can be successfully rehabilitated and returned to a vocation.
