After heart valve surgery, it is crucial for patients to protect themselves from infections. During this period, preventive vaccinations such as flu and pneumonia shots are recommended. In case of any infection, a physician should be consulted immediately for appropriate antibiotic treatment. One of the common concerns expressed by patients before surgery is that their quality of life might decrease post-operation. However, such worries are unfounded, as heart valve surgery generally leads to a significant improvement in patients' quality of life.
