A member asked:
How can one estimate the life expectancy for someone with aortic valve regurgitation?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Too broad: If the valve is replaced in a timely fashion then life expectancy is good. If left untreated and is severe, life expectancy is severly limited . The ultimate measure of the pts long term mortality is the left ventricular ejection fraction. The more normal it is the better the mortality rates.
