Patients with symptomatic heart failure have a median life expectancy of less than 5 years, even with the advances in care that exist today. About 90% of patients with the most advance disease die within one year. However, a patient's prognosis is dependent on several factors, and ...

Particular attention is paid the study "Discordance Between Patient-Predicted and Model-Predicted Life ...

Aims: Heart failure has been demonstrated in previous studies to have a dismal prognosis. However, the modern-day prognosis of patients with new onset heart failure diagnosed in the community managed within a disease management programme is not known. The purpose of this study is to report on ...

A decrease in heart rate due to therapeutic interventions may result in an increase in survival. However, there are many factors regulating heart rate, and it is quite plausible that these may independently affect life expectancy. Nonetheless, a fast heart rate itself affects the cardiovascular ...

Life expectancy in heart failure for women is slightly longer according to MAGGIC meta-analysis. In this method, more points equal a worse prognosis, and male patients get an extra point. General, non-gender-specific survival rates for heart failure are: 1-year - 81.3%; 5-years 51.5%; and...
Life Expectancy Conditional on surviving 2 or more years after allogeneic BMT, patients experienced a 20.8% decrease in their life expectancy (8.7 years of life lost). The years of life lost were greatest for the youngest survivors (age 10 years: 21.5 years; 31% reduction in life expectancy)...
