What Is The Life Expectancy Of A Person With Final Stages Of Heart Failure?
I am 36 years old and have heart failure with my heart pumping 20% at the moment, my doctors tell me my lungs are what they expect to find on an 80 year old, a few weeks ago I suffered kidney failure and was admitted to ITU for dialysis for several days, can you please give some indication of my life expectancy as my doctors avoid this question

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
No exact answer, I see patients with heart failure with EF 20 living in reasonable conditions. However, unfortunately, you have multiple problems that may complicate your condition and can bring it down to 1-5 years.
I hope God's hands touch you and improve your health to go beyond our expectations.
