Heart disease due to valvular anomaly has increased prevalence along with increasing age. Rheumatic heart disease is a condition in which the heart valves have been permanently damaged post rheumatic fever. The operative management including reparation or substitution with prosthetic valve is the main therapy. Still becoming question mark either rehabilitation program is beneficence for the patient undergoing valvular surgery. We report a patient with severe mitral valve regurgitation, moderate mitral stenosis, moderate tricuspid regurgitation, and severe pulmonary artery hypertension secondary to Rheumatic Heart Disease. He underwent Mitral valve replacement surgery and advised post-operative physiotherapy which comprises 2 weeks of phase I cardiac rehabilitation, a home exercise program after discharge, and follow-up after 2 weeks. During follow up patient has a high level of independence, improvement in quality of life, and early return to work.

Rheumatic heart disease is one of the principal contributors that has a negative influence on a patient's quality of life and makes it challenging for them to perform their daily activities. The disorder predominantly impairs the function of heart valves, specifically the mitral valve, resulting in stenosis that can be managed by repair or replacement of the valve. The purpose of treatment is to improve the patient's quality of life. As an adjunct to that, cardiac rehabilitation and exercise therapy are used. This case study discusses a patient with mitral stenosis and mitral regurgitation, who underwent mitral valve replacement. She was given with physiotherapy for a week of phase I cardiac rehabilitation and was prescribed home exercise.

Platelet survival time (SURV) has correlated with a history of thromboembolism (TE) in patients with rheumatic heart disease (RHD). A controlled trial of sulfinpyrazone (SFP) in RHD is in progress and 138 patients have been entered. SURV (51Chromium labelling) was shortened (2.3 ± 0.08 days; AVE t 1/2 ± SEM; normal 3.7 ± 0.04 days) in 40 of 41 (98%) with a history of TE and in 76 of 97 (78%) (2.9 ± 0.07 days; P<0.001) of those without a history of TE. One hundred sixteen with shortened SURV have been randomized to SFP or placebo and 67 have either completed four years (N=37), undergone mitral valve replacement (N=18) (ave 19 months; range 6-32 months), had definite TE (N=8) (average 14 months; range 8-23 months) or died (N=4) (average 15 months; range 5-22 months). Definite TE (prolonged neurologic deficit) occurred in one on SFP and in seven on placebo (all with shortened SURV) (X2 = 4.31; NS). SFP increased SURV (2.4 ± 0.12 to 2.7 ± 0.13 days; N=23; P<0.001) and 12 (52%) had an increase in SURV of >0.02 days. The patient on SFP with new TE had no change in SURV (2.3 to 2.3 days). Placebo did not alter SURV (2.4 ± 0.15 to 2.5 ± 0.08 days; N=26; NS) and two (8%) had an alteration of SURV by > 0.02 days. SURV was not altered in patients with normal SURV (3.7 ± 0.08 to 3.6 ± 0.08 days; N=12; NS) and no patient with normal SURV has had shortened SURV on subsequent yearly measurement. Patients with normal SURV were not randomized. Results suggest that SURV is shortened in patients with RHD who have had or will have TE, that SFP increases SURV and may prevent TE in these patients.

Objective: To explore the effect of psychological nursing on the mental state and quality of life of patients after heart valve replacement for rheumatic heart disease. Methods: Seventy-four patients with rheumatic heart disease that underwent heart valve replacement in Zhenjiang First People’s Hospital from January 2017 to May 2020 were selected as the research subjects. Thirty-seven patients that were treated from January 2017 to September 2018 were included in the control group. Routine care was provided for the patients in the control group. From October 2018 to May 2020, the Department of Cardiothoracic Surgery improved their preoperative and postoperative psychological care. Thirty-seven patients that were treated during this period were included in the research group. The research group received psychological nursing care in addition to routine care. The effects of different nursing modes on the quality of life and postoperative mental state of the patients were determined. Results: The scores for depression, anxiety, somatization, and compulsion in the research group were significantly lower than those in the control group (p < 0.05); the scores for the quality of life of patients in the research group were significantly higher than those in the control group (p < 0.05). Conclusions: Strengthening psychological nursing for patients with rheumatic heart disease is helpful to improve their quality of life and mental state after heart valve replacement.
