A member asked:

If a 99 year old with chf and is at 10% what it the expect time frame until end of life?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Can't predict: The end could come tomorrow or a year from now. They may be able to have a tolerable quality of life despite the low output. Try to make each day that they are with you a good one, with the patient having autonomy over what measures are undertake to keep life going, and what for comfort.
