Thanks for your query. Prognosis of disease and life span can only be predicted in cancer patients.
33% cardiac dysfuntioning can be treated and life span can be increased, but for this I need to know the Echocardiographic reports and other blood biochemistry tests like
•
Lipid profile in particular
serum cholesterol and serum triglyserides
• Renal function test particularly blood urea and
creatinine test.
• Weight of patient
• Blood pressure
Meanwhile I would suggest her to get her B.P check immediately from some local doctors
Few suggestions which I like to give her are as follow
• Keep B.P under control
• Reduce weight
• Take plenty of fibrous food
• Take sodium free diet
• Stop smoking immediately and do light walk
• She also needs to take some diuretics ,
Simvastatin ,long acting aspirin and some antidiabetics if there are signs of
Diabetes Mellitus
I am sure that by acting upon my advice she can improve her conditions and her life span as well.
I will again request to kindly let me know her reports which I suggested.
Hoping that you will get benefit from my advice.
My prayers are with you.
Thanks and best regards.
