How Long Can Diabetic With Unstable Angina Survive?
I have recently been diagnosed with unstable angina. I have previously had an MI, I am 42, with a family history of Heart Disease and Type 2 Diabetes. I am a poorly controlled type 2 Diabetic, overweight and a smoker until 2 weeks ago. I have been told that a bypass or further angioplasty is not an option for me. I take about 24 tablets a day. Could I have a realistic estimation of life expectancy, as I`m guessing its not too good ?
I would like to review your cardiac ultrasound and coronary angiogram report, in order to be able to give a more professional opinion. I remain at your disposal for any further questions whenever you need.

Take care
Regards,
Dr Ilir Sharka, Cardiologist
