What Is The Life Expectancy In An Ischemic Cardiomyopathy Patient?
Hello,
My father (aged 65) has been diagnosed with Ischemic Cardiomyopathy and mitral and aortic regurgitation. His EF is 25-30%. He has been very active throughout his life so far. My question is what life style he should pursue and what can we expect in terms of life expectancy and what signs we should watch for.
