My cousin, who is 70, had a bad heart attack a few months ago, and wasn't expected to survive. I know that some of the heart tissue died during the attack. But she did survive, and is doing much better, and taking part in a rehab program.
I have a question, though, for anyone who has experience in these matters. How long is someone at 70 expected to live after a bad heart attack? Is the general tendency for them only to have a short time, or is it possible that they could still go on for many years? I have tried to research this online but haven't found anything.
With various cancers, there are life expectancy stats, and I know that survival after heart attacks must be greatly varied, but I was wondering if anyone knew the general outcome, in terms of whether people cluster in short survival times or long. If they survive the heart attack and are doing well, perhaps their life expectancy is not affected at all? I'd love to know what the general outcomes tend to be, since I can't seem to find anything online. Thank you.
