Could The Diet Drug Be The Cause For The Heart Valve Relacement?

Hi
Sorry to bother you but i an currently not working (going in for surgery next week) and i cant pay to have my question answered.....

Two part question :)
1) is there long term data for taking Depakote? Boyfriend has been taking for years and is starting to feel changes in heart (increase)

2) I took the diet drug Phen Phen for approx a year... I just now was told i have to have right heart valve replaced.... Could this be related?
