Depends on factors: Suriival in heart failure is most directly related to functional status, and dependent upon the patient's exercise capabilities following a diagnosis of heart failure, their survival and life expectancy can be quite good.

Good: It does depend on the underlying severity of the heart disease and the severity of the chf. It also depends of what other medical conditions are also present.
