What Is The Life Expectancy In A Woman With Weak Heart Condition?
My mom is 53. Has Chf and afib. Shes had 2 valve surgerys. One when she was 18. And another when she was 30. She just had a pacemaker. They said her heart is funcioning only 20 percent. But she seems fine. She talks,eats,walks and can do anything a normal person does. She doenst even seem sick. Is there anything that can be done to help her? She also is on blood thinners, Should we be worried for an end? Life expectancy?
hey.if she seems okay then nothing much to worry for. weekly check for INR and PT time as she is on blood thinners. Life expectancy is dependant on her healthy lifestyle. Go for echo and monitor ejection fraction seldomly.it will clarify her current conditions. Pay special attention on her medications. thanks.
