My father is 65 yrs old he had heart surgery on age of 62,he seems to loose weight he is weighing around 54 kg at height of 160.what are survial rate?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: Survival following bypass surgery is strongly influenced by the state of the heart before the surgery such as previous damage from previous heart attacks and the extent of such damage .Also the presence of other conditions such as diabetes, or kidney dysfunction. Although survival under this conditions do not approach normalcy,the outcome is certainly much better than without surgery
