Contractions remain the same, but don't have figures available. In predicting survival, one must look at a variety of indicators of disease severity. Most of these require hospital testing such as an echocardiogram or a right heart catheterization. Lower ejection fraction, high filling pressures in the heart, worse physical symptoms, and lower exercise duration during formal testing are all negative prognostic indicators. The fact that you have no symptoms is encouraging, but I am unable to directly answer your question due to the absence of the other data.
