my father passed away last year from Chf so did my uncle. grandmother and my aunt. unfortunately I have not seen in my own experience that any of them had a chance. they took the meds, did the rehab and for them they were all given a limited time and went just when predicted. I am confused. chf is a death sentence?
From what I understand if you make dietary changes, lose the weight, take your meds as prescribed and exercise you should live well beyond the initial 5 years. But it probably depends on how the heart is damaged and if it can be fixed.
My father had an initial heart attack at age 46 and a quadruple bypass at 56. He had never been a smoker or drinker, in his case, I think he was just prone to it. He removed all salt from his diet and added cardio after the heart attack. He lived life after that pretty well until about 67 but just had to slow down. At 71 CHF had set in. After about 2 miserable years he almost died. He then changed from a local cardiologist to a program at a major university hospital, this literally changed his life and he ultimately lived until 80. There were many trips to the hospital over those years to adjust medication and there was plenty of it which had to be taken in exact doses, closely monitored throughout the day. The last year you could see a noticeable drop off of what he was capable of with many bad days. To answer your question, depending on the program that you are involved in and how much you change your life, to me drives the the quality and longevity of your life. Even though you will most likely die from it one day, it doesn't have to be a death sentence.
@@johnsebring5560 While there may be a school of thought regarding that, I would say that it's outside the bounds of generally accepted medical science in regard to heart failure.
Not sure if anyone cares but if you guys are bored like me atm you can stream pretty much all of the latest series on instaflixxer. Have been streaming with my gf these days :)
