What Could Be The Life Expectancy Of A Person Who Had Cardiac Arrest?
I had a cardiac arrest last year they figure I had a virus that attacked my heart that I didn't know that I had. The blood pumping function to my heart is working better after a year. Although there is damage obviously still to my heart I'm only 43 I know its hard to say but what is the life expendancy for someone like myself? I also have an icd now

Hi,
If your heart function is improved in a year, and you don't have heart failure, you can have good life expectancy, if you follow your doctor's advises, take your medication regularly and follow healthy lifestyle.
Hope I could help you
Wishing you good health
