Dilated cardiomyopathy, ventricular tachacardia, chf, below 30%EFR?

after being diagnosed with all of these afflictions, how much time does a person usually have on their meter? Lifespan? oh, and add bronchitis to that.

a general opinion would be helpful, i know the statistics and really would like a candid answer... any doctors, nurses or students of medicine?

mullikindonna - Unfortunately, the answer to your question is depending on many things including the etiology of your dilated cardiomyopathy. I CAN tell you that one of the more recent trials (SCD-HeFT) which enrolled 2500 patients with NY Class II or III heart failure and EF less than 35% showed a 5-year mortality (death from ANY cause) of 29% in patients that were on optimal medical therapy AND with an ICD in place. BUT the question is best answered by your doctor who knows the details of your health history. For example, are you a diabetic? Patients with diabetes tend to do a little bit worse than non-diabetics. I hope you find that somewhat helpful. (Talk to your doctor!)

I definitely know you are Treatable and Curable !
And you treatment lies in Homeopathy !
Believe it or Not !
Start taking ARNICA 30 immediately no matter what other medicines you are taking take this half hour before meals always on an empty stomach and let me know :-)
Do you still think Homeopathy is Placebo ?
Three days isn't asking for much when you are talking about a life threatening situation which we know can be treated successfully with a certain medicine !

Take care and God Bless you !

I take it you are seeing a cardiologist? I do cardiac ultrasound studies and I can tell you I've seen people with EF's of 10-20% live for quite a while (10 years). Nowadays there are so many medications out there that are getting great results. For the ventricular tachycardia they would need to implant an ICD. This is an implantable version of the machines they use to shock a heart back into rhythm. They are also now doing a procedure called, Bi-ventricular synchronization. It basically gets the walls of the left ventricle to contract in sync. It can greatly improve your LV function and bring your EF up. Over time it also does what is called reverse remodeling. That means it shrinks the heart size down so it is not dilated. This new pacemaker isn't for everyone, but if you meet the criteria it is worth talking to your MD about. We just had a case this past week where this guy had an EF of 33% with a dilated LV and widened QRS. The day following the procedure his EF was up to 49% (the normal range starts at 50-55%) and the regurgitation (leak) of one of his valves was dramatically less.
