Hello,
Life expectancy depends upon the risk factors you have like diabetes, obesity or cholesterol levels, smoking & alcohol intake and how many vessels involved in heart attack , ejection fraction of heart etc. You may use years of potential life lost (YPLL) score to caliculate. But your information not sufficient. Please consult your Cardiologist he will examine and treat you accordingly.
