What kind of heart disease?
My cholesterol on XPERT was 3.8 with lots and lots of carbs, triglycerides under 2 on lots of carbs.
Here's what google says,
How long can you live with congestive heart failure and kidney failure?
Although there have been recent improvements in congestive heart failure treatment, researchers say the prognosis for people with the disease is still bleak, with about 50% having an average life expectancy of less than five years. For those with advanced forms of heart failure, nearly 90% die withinone year.2
Q, you requested stories about people with your kind of health problems. It seems very disingenuous to pass them off as 'bedtime stories. I contend you owe @lucylocket61 an apology.
You have been given enough information, but seem to be unable to absorb it. Your cardiologist will most likely be in the statin camp when it comes to cholesterol etc. So his advice may be quite contrary to the information given in some posts here, but i think you may have other issues perhaps affecting your judgement at the moment and that further discussion is unlikely to help. I suggest you consider counselling and then post after that when other issues you face have been sorted. This is also my last post to you on current matters such as this thread.
