Valvular heart disease is one of the common diseases in cardiac surgery. Surgery is the main treatment for valvular heart disease. Cardiac valve replacement surgery corrects the disordered haemodynamics, but the quality life of patients may be affected by multiple factors, such as the disease itself, treatment measures, long-term postoperative anticoagulant and follow-up. This article will provide an overview of the quality of life (origin and definition, evaluation) and the quality of life of patients after cardiac valve replacement (the purpose and significance of quality of life assessment, the quality of life of patients after cardiac valve replacement at different times and different dimensions, influencing factors of the quality of life of patients after surgery), aiming to provide clinical evidence for patients to make decisions before surgery and for clinical medical staff to take intervention measures for patients after surgery.
