Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
See, exact time frame for survival of these patients can not be determined.
But by your history and description, she is definitely have very poor prognosis.
She is having failing heart due to valves blockage.
And surgery is also very risky due to over all health.
Without surgery, in her case, life expectancy is less than 1 month.
She may succumb at any moment due to cardiac arrest. So be prepared for this.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wishing good health to your madam. Thanks.
