Dear Mrs,
Your husband has congestive heart failure. There is not defined length of life expectancy for all patients. But the disease has poor outcomes if not treated. There are different medications for the treatment of heart failure which ameliorate quality of life and lengthen the life in heart hailure patients.
So I kindly advise you to see your doctor and take medications.
Hope I could help you
