Does anyone know how long you can live with 2 leaking heart valves when surgery is not an option? This is for someone who is overweight and in poor general health.

I am 54 but I stopped smoking and drinking 10 years ago. I have attended Cardiac Clinics where people who would not survive the op kept attending for 4years. I don't see them anymore because now I only go back once a year. I had a mitral valve replacement 4 years ago and things are getting better.

I think that stopping smoking is a must as ops cost a fortune and if the individual with the hart problem cant make an effort to save there life why should the health system.

I had surgery with a man who had a bypass and needed to drink beer with his meals. Saying who gets an op and who doesn't is a tricky thing but if I was on an operating team I would not want to work on people who wouldn't make an effort themselves.

Clapper

MY mum was diagnosed with 2 leaking heart valves 11 years ago,aged72.She's still going!

It really depends on the person, My nan has a leak in her heart valve, She has also smoked since she was 17. She is 91 in May and going strong!

Thanks for that.
