What to do if i'm scared! my boyfriend's dad had a heart attack, what are his chances of surviving?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Prognosis....: His prognosis depends on how much of the heart muscle was damaged. An echocardiogram can visualize the heart and help determine if the heart is still able to pump blood efficiently despite being damaged by the heart attack. And there are therapies that can help the heart recover.
