[|Human|] Hi, I am a 55 year old woman who had triple bypass when I was 47 years old. Family history of heart disease on my mothers side, so I feel lucky to be alive after the heart attack. I know how long the Dr. say the bypass lasts...10 to 15 years. My question is what is the life expectancy for someone with triple bypass? Are there statistics that predict how long I can live given the fact that I am not overweight, eat well, dont smoke, drink, exercise regularly, etc?
[|AI|]  Hi, It is quite individual. If you are not overweight, follow healthy lifestyle, you have good chances of favorable prognosis. We have patients with bypass, who live more than 20 years after bypass and doing quite well. The main goal is tried to slow down the progression of atherosclerosis as much as it is possible. It is done with medications and lifestyle changes. If you have good results in these two areas, have no heart failure and no angina, then you have good chances. Hope I could help nourishing you good health In case of further questions don't hesitate to ask
