Hello,
The recent studies estimated that the mean life expectancy of a stage 3 heart failure is 5 years. It also can go beyond it with proper treatment and control. Also it varies from other conditions the patient may suffer.
Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
