If you've had no symptoms for 6 months after open heart surgery & mitral valve replacement and no history of congestive heart failure for 6 months, & no current blood pressure abnormalities or current restrictions on physical activities, you can donate blood or plasma. It's always best to get your cardiologist's OK however.
