Overall good: It is impossible to be precise about your individual situation without knowing the details of your medical situation. As a general rule if the heart function is normal ( as with an ejection fraction of 55% it sounds like it probably is) this is a good sign.

Unknown: There is no real answer to this, impossible to predict. It is a really important question. I empower you to have open discussions with your mds. Better question how long will my valve last? What is the risk of my next operation?
