Valve replacement is an effective surgical procedure that improves patients＇ quality of life and life span and has played an increasingly important role in treating mitral valve diseases. Previous studies have reported different risk factors and independent predictors of increased mortality in patients with mitral valve replacement （MVR） and/or aortic valve replacement （AVR）. This study retrospectively reviewed data on patients undergoing valve surgery to determine the risk factors and predictors of short-term mortality in this patient population.展开更多
文摘To the Editor： Valve stenosis and regurgitation can lead to a series of symptoms, including chest distress and dyspnea. Valve replacement is an effective surgical procedure that improves patients＇ quality of life and life span and has played an increasingly important role in treating mitral valve diseases. Previous studies have reported different risk factors and independent predictors of increased mortality in patients with mitral valve replacement （MVR） and/or aortic valve replacement （AVR）. This study retrospectively reviewed data on patients undergoing valve surgery to determine the risk factors and predictors of short-term mortality in this patient population.
