Hi,I am Dr. Carol Rogala (Emergency Medicine). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
67 year old male, had a heart attack a couple of months ago, still lives in a-fib, has a family history of heart disease, eats pretty healthy and exercises almost daily
how dangerous is living in a-fib for him and how long before his heart gives out?
I think he has excellent will power, the guy is not giving up.He is leading a better life that those timid ones :>). One day his Afib will go away as he guts to fight. In my opinion he will live a normal and better span of life. Atleast he is fighting. I wish him all the success.
we cannot comment on his his life expectency.heart attack means myocardial infarction which mean allready certain part of his heart is dead.living healthy and doing regular exerscises will increase his life expectancy.
