Welcome and thank you for asking on HCM!
I have gone through you question carefully. Survival after CPR depends on
the underlying heart disease and the severity of heart dysfunction and
comorbities ( Diabetes, Hypertension etc.), level of physical activity
status . if frequent CPR s are being required survival is usually poor.
Hope you will find this answer helpful!
Wishing all the best,
