Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
What Is The Life Expectancy When Diagnosed With Complete Blockage In Left Anterior Vascular Artery?
I had a massive heart attack 8 weeks ago but only just had it diagnosed. I have a complete block of the Left anterior vascular artery. I felt only left shoulder and neck pain with flue like symptoms at the time and failed to get treatment early. I have arrhythmia now, with some pain in the same shoulder and upper arm with slight tingling in the left thumb and forefinger. I am 52 years old, male and also suffer from secondary hypogonadism and have HRT. I m not fit but not overweight either. What is my life expectancy in your opinion? 1 to 5 years 5-10, or more?
HI Well come to HCM I really appreciate your concern, if you do have cardiac disease particular coronary heart disease then you need to be very careful, you have to change the life style from grass rooted level, if could do this then one can have the normal life span with no problem, hope this information helps, take care and have a nice day.
