What Is The Life Expectancy In Case Of Blockage In Heart Arteries?
my mother is 69 years old and she had two strokes back in "05" which left her unable to walk and unable to talk and she doesn't get any excersise. She started complaining about chest pains last week and was rushed to the hospital where we found out that the three main arteries to her heart has sanifacint blockage. The doctors dont want to do a triple by pass becasue of her age and her condition, so they are just giving her meds to prevent further blockage. What is the life expectancy for her?

Hi There
I have gone through the medical details provided by you of your mother and i understand your concern for her health. I would like to advise you to go for a second expert opinion as different doctors have different way of thinking and managing the patients. Its advisable that you should carry all the reports and medical records along with your mother as the other doctor probably needs to asses her condition by examining her.
Regarding the life expectancy you are asking, i wanna tell you that every disease process and every patient is unique and things dont work in a same way for every patient. So as such there is no fixed life expectancy.
I wish her good health
