How long one can live after a massive heart attack with a cardiac arrest?
6 doctors weighed in across 3 answers
Very Individual: The answer is completely individual depending upon the extent of the damage that was done to the heart muscle, the age of the person and their other medical conditions. Sustaining a cardiac arrest during a heart attack simply indicates there was a period of electrical instability and does not worsen the prognosis. Even with massive heart attacks the survival can be decades long with best care.
