Suggest Treatment For Coronary Artery Disease

I had quintuple bypass surgery May 12, 2014. My echocardiogram on July 8 shows no change - my heart is still pumping 35% as it was prior to the bypass. My blood pressure is also still elevated and medication is not controlling it yet. I realize I have coronary artery disease and while still in the hospital congestive heart failure was discussed. I am wondering what the typical life expectancy is as I do not know if I should elect to file for disability and retire. I am 60.

Hello,I have gone through your question.let me tell you 35% ejection fraction is moderate dysfunction and you should not worry too much about it.but you must control Blood pressure properly .your BP must remain below 140/90.as you have not mentioned about your present medication I can't guide further.for your coronary artery disease you already have bypass.so continue all medicines and control BP as suggested.I would be happy to guide you further if you furnish all the details.
My best wishes
