What Is The Life Expectancy Of A Person With Low EF?

I have cardiomyopathy and my ejection fraction is 20-25% I have a defib/pacemaker. 2 bouts of CHF in the last 3 months. Just turned 64 years old. Doctor just started me on a new medicine called Entresto. Have you heard of it? I won t be able to afford it after the sample product is gone so I m not get up too much hope. What is the life expectancy of someone in my situation? Thank You.

I really appreciate your concern, if can not afford the new treatment then you can discuss this with doctor and conventional treatment gives the excellent result, with right treatment one can complete the normal life span hope this information helps.
