Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you for asking!
I read your query and understood your concerns.

Overall mean survival rates for congestive heart failure are 7 years. However, in your case other factors such as your age and other disease may influence the survival rates.

Can you tell me what other disease do you have?

Hope this was of help!
Wish you health!
