Suggest Treatment For Heart Functioning At 20% And Weakness

My dad just had his third heart attack. His other health issues prevent the doctors from doing the standard diagnostics and treatments (kidney disease and bleeding issues). We have been told that his heart is only functioning at 20%. He is so weak and miserable now. My question is - how much time do you think he has left?

Hi,

It's not possible to tell someone how much time is left. Given the condition of your father prognosis is not very good.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Sonalika Kalyan, Critical Care Specialist
