Hi, The life expectancy and survival rates depend on f a patient has low heart contractility and heart failure. If a patients' heart contractility is not too decreased, the patient doesn't have heart failure and no other serious diseases, then he/she may have good life expectancy, and patients with severely decreased heart contractility, heart failure and serious comorbidities have poor prognosis. Take care come back if you have any further questions
