Probably: If you are the individual with the valve repair, i would be concerned for a more complex cardiac history. A 21 year old having undergone significant cardiac surgery should carefully discuss all these matters with both surgeon and cardiologist. In general, yes to both caffeinated and decaffeinated.

Yes: Coffee is not contraindicated in the majority of patients. If abnormal rhythm issues are present it might be better to avoid caffeine. Moderation is wise.
