Paint fumes (depending on what kind) can cause damage to any human. Its often a good idea to refrain from breathing in paint fumes whether or not you have an aortic valve replacement. Paint fumes when inhaled can cause damage to and kill brain cells (which you have a limited supply of).

Which can cause tissue damage. Acid or bases?

Both acids and bases can cause tissue damage. Acids typically denature proteins and cause coagulation of tissues, while bases can lead to liquefactive necrosis and saponification of fats in the tissues. The extent of tissue damage depends on the concentration, duration of exposure, and specific pH of the acid or base.

What is dilated aorta?

A dilated aorta is an aorta that is wider than normal. This is indicative of an aortic aneurysm, or a bulging of the aorta due to a weakening in the walls of the aorta. Aortic aneurysms are dangerous because they can cause the walls of the aorta to tear--aortic dissection--or rupture completely, leading to severe internal bleeding. Aortic aneurysms are repaired with surgery, but can sometimes be monitored to avoid or delay surgery. Because of the life-threatening risks associated with aortic aneurysm, medical consultation should be sought.
