Patients undergoing aortic valve replacement show better exercise performance post-surgery compared to mitral valve replacement patients. Preoperative employment status significantly impacts return to work after heart valve surgery.

Area of Science:

  • Cardiology
  • Cardiac Surgery
  • Rehabilitation Medicine

Background:

  • 1270 patients underwent cardiac rehabilitation post-aortic or mitral valve replacement between 1978-1987.
  • Preoperative diagnoses included various isolated and mixed aortic and mitral valve lesions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate exercise performance and factors influencing return to work after valve replacement surgery.
  • To compare outcomes between aortic and mitral valve replacement patients.

Main Methods:

  • Follow-up examinations at 1, 6 months, and yearly intervals.
  • Supine bicycle ergometer exercise testing with incremental load increases.
  • Univariate and multivariate analyses to identify predictors of return to work.

Main Results:

  • Aortic valve replacement patients demonstrated superior exercise performance at 1 month compared to mitral valve replacement patients.
  • Mitral stenosis patients exhibited greater exercise intolerance than mitral insufficiency patients.
  • Exercise tolerance improved steadily 1-6 months post-surgery, with persistent differences between aortic (72% of normal) and mitral (57% of normal) groups.

Conclusions:

  • Preoperative employment status is the strongest predictor of postoperative return to work.
  • Gender, exercise tolerance, and type of valve lesion (aortic > mitral) also influence return to work.
  • Aortic valve replacement patients generally achieve better exercise recovery than mitral valve replacement patients.
