A member asked:
My father aged 59 was found to have 3 heart blocks...now he underwent bypass surgery with 2 bypasses..what is his life expectancy?

It depends: His surgeon would be a better resource. Life expectancy depends on several things. How well does his heart squeeze? Were all the blockages bypassed? How healthy are the rest of his arteries? Does he have lung disease, diabetes, other health issues? Is he smoking? Will he change his risk factors? Assuming no other issues and normal heart function then he should do very well.

Life expectancy: Totally unpredictable . Usually normal life expectancy after bypass surgery.
