Hello,
The life expectancy of person with 20% pumping on machine is for couple of months to years depending upon the rest of the parameters such as:
- Kidney function
- Nutrition status
- Control of blood sugar, blood pressure
- Associated conditions such as atherosclerosis
- Risk factors of coronary artery diseases as smoking and others
