Heart problem

2017-06-03 15:57:53
My grandmother is 82 years old and she has a shrunk valve. Only a small percentage is still open. Her heart rate has recently gone very low and doctors have put a temporary pacemaker which they claim that they will make as permanent soon. So, is it advisable for my grandmother to do a valve replacement surgery.
