My grandmother is 92 years old and has CHF and a enlarged heart with only 20% heart function. She has a heart stent and hypertension. She also is in a lot of pain from several gallstones. The doctors do not want to remove the gallstones because of her her heart function. I need to know how long can my grandmother live with 20% heart function
Yes any surgery with 20 percent EF is risky...but nobody can predict that how much time person can survive with this .this depends upon other conditions as anemia or hypertension .thyroid status .liver kidney and lung function ...for gall stones ask her to avoid fatty foods ...heavy foods ...
