A member asked:
Can a 62 year man with lupus survive on 22% heart function?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Survival may be limited but careful medical management may help for a long time. The other consideration for right now is evaluation for a cardiac assist device. A number now exist and you should seek out a high volume center that also does transplants and seek evaluation and consideration for an assist device especially before heart function gets any worse.
