Abstract

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. We report a patient with Aortic valve replacement using TTK CH 25 prosthetic valve who underwent 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, lung function, and symptoms. This case report aims to highlight the significance of prompt diagnosis; treatment and most importantly rehabilitation incorporating early mobilization to get the patient back to his functional state. A scheduled exercise program benefits the patient and also minimizes complications after surgery.
