How long will you live after having a valve close in your heart?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Heart disease: If you mean a stenotic valve can live years but generally need something done. Valves normally open and close, that's their job. When they can't open properly they cause outflow obstruction and increased heart work and need to be fixed.
