When using an AED on adult and AED give a no shock indicated or no shock advised message what do you do next and do you leave the pads on?
Check for both a brachial pulse and carotid pulse. If pulse is present, assist ventilation. If no pulse is present, continue CPR until help arrives, the victim regains consciousness or you physically cannot perform CPR any longer. Also note if you are acting as a certified individual (First responder, EMT-B, EMT-I, EMT-P, RN, MD) You may only pass off CPR and management of the patient to someone of an equal or higher certification level.
Do you continue CPR in between shocks an AED?
Because, the AED gives the shock to the heart that most likely saves them from dieing.

Check for signs of life (breathing, pulse). If no signs of life, continue CPR.
Can you use an aed with a metal heart valve?
Yes. After first calling an ambulance, apply the suction pads and leads as directed. This allows the AED to monitor and record the heart action, and direct further if a shock is required. A shock will ONLY be delivered if the heart is in fibrilllation. If there is no pulse, CPR should be started until help arrives, regardless of if the AED tells you 'no shock required', this is because, as mentioned before, the AED is only effective in fibrillation.
