Hi, my mom is 82 and recently had a heart attack. Doctors found all 3 vessels blocked and managed to unblock only 1 with medications. Considering her age and health condition, doctors cant operate on the other 2 vessels. Doctors said her heart is only 15 to 20% good and her kidneys are quite bad. They have done the max they can do. What can i expect abt her health condition from here onwards? How long can an aged lady survive with 2 blocked vessels? I dun want to get too hopeful so it would be good to get an honest opinion.
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. She is having very poor functioning of heart, only 15-20%. This is the cause for her poor kidney functions. Actually poor heart function causes poor circulation of blood in the body. So all organs of the blood receive less blood. So functions of the vital organs like kidney, Brain etc. will be hampered. So Honestly speaking, prognosis in her case is not good. Life expectancy in her case is less than 6 months. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wishing good health to your mother. Thanks.
