The quality of life of the patients in both the valve repair and replacement groups was at an average level. There was no significant difference between the general quality of life and the Minnesota scales, suggesting that both tools can be effectively used to measure patients' quality of life. The study's findings can be valuable for monitoring patients, screening for conditions, and enhancing communication between doctors and patients.
