Hi,
The life expectancy and survival rates depend on f a patient has low heart contractility and heart failure. If a patient's heart contractility is not too decreased, the patient doesn't have heart failure and no other serious diseases, then he/she may have good life expectancy, and patients with severely decreased heart contractility, heart failure and serious comorbidities have poor prognosis.
Take care
