Hi,

Advanced heart failure has a very poor prognosis and the quality of life of such patients is not good.
For advanced heart failure with recurrent admissions for the same, we generally advise for a heart transplant.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Sameer Maheshwari, Cardiologist
