Post Valve Surgery

I will be having surgery soon for the replacement of my mitral and aortic valves. Is it true that after the surgery wires will remain coming out of my chest for the possibility of jump starting my heart if need be? If so, what happens to these wires later on? This may sound like a crazy question, but I am very concerned about walking around with wires still coming out of me.
