那么这种疾病该如何预防和治疗？ "瓣膜就像阀门，它是一个结构，坏了不能通过吃药长好，需要手术治疗，要么是修门，要么是换 门。" "很多心脏瓣膜病的表现并不是整个心脏疼或者是心慌，很多人的表现是没力气，这实际上可能暗 示心功能减退。"复旦大学附属中山医院心脏外科主任王春生日前接受中新健康记者采访时表示。 随着我国人口老龄化进程的不断加速，心血管病患病率持续上升，心脏瓣膜疾病已成为继冠心病、 高血压之后的第三大心血管疾病。数据显示，我国约有2500万人受瓣膜病影响，其中又以二尖瓣疾病最 为常见。 "心脏有四个瓣膜，最重要的是二尖瓣和主动脉瓣膜，因为这两个瓣膜承受的压力比较大，特别是 二尖瓣。因为瓣膜是定向发力，它要朝这扇门把血液打出去。"王春生向中新健康记者解释了心脏瓣膜 的工作原理。 他说，心脏瓣膜是心脏中活动最明显的，它会不停地开放关闭，心跳每分钟跳80次，它就每分钟开 关80次。持续活动使瓣膜承受负担，如果患有高血压，则瓣膜承受的压力就更大。 这也就是为什么随着年龄增长，患病风险会增加，并且伴随现代快节奏的生活方式，疾病年轻化趋 势也更加明显。 "第一代生物瓣是用动物材料制成的，比如牛心包、猪主动脉等，随着 ...
