CHF: Your cardiologist is best qualified to answer your question. With the use of medications like ACE inhibitors, ARB's and the newer agent Ernesto, life expectancy with cardiomyopathy and reduced ejection fraction has improved in recent years. Cardiac ventricular assist devices and transplants have also extended life expectancy. Close follow-up by your cardiologist is crucial.

Depends: On other factors like overall health status etiology of the CHF, lifestyle and response to treatment. A cardiologist with full medical history including their symptoms and physical examination could classify the stage of CHF and management
