How does having congestive heart failure affect your life?

Life expectance of advanced congestive heart failure?

  • I have an ejection fraction of 20 - 25% and my dilated heart has not improved with a defibrillator or my regimin of meds. I also have multiple sclerosis. Since I'm not a candidate for transplant how long do you think I might live?

  • Answer:

    If someone gives you a time then they are guessing out of their hat. No one knows that but God.
