[|Human|] I had quintuple bypass surgery May 12, 2014. My echocardiogram on July 8 shows no change - my heart is still pumping 35% as it was prior to the bypass. My blood pressure is also still elevated and medication is not controlling it yet. I realize I have coronary artery disease and while still in the hospital congestive heart failure was discussed. I am wondering what the typical life expectancy is as I do not know if I should elect to file for disability and retire. I am 60.
[|AI|]  Hello, I have gone through your question. Let me tell you 35% ejection fraction is moderate dysfunction, and you should not worry too much about it. But you must control Blood pressure properly .your BP must remain below 140/90.as you have not mentioned your present medication I can't guide further. For your coronary artery disease you already have bypass. So continue all medicines and control BP as suggested. I would be happy to guide you further if you furnish all the details. My best wishes Chat Doctor.
