NO SMOKING!!!!!!! Exercise. Do not lead a sedentary lifestyle. Limit fast fried and fatty foods. Eat fruits and veggies in their raw form. We don't know your age or family risk. Have cholesterol levels checked regularly. But by far #1 is NO SMOKING!
2 :
Dont smoke,Drink 8 glasses of water daily,cut visible fats off food before you cook it,Detox once a month,excercise regularly,to maintain a healthy heart,have regular colestrol checks,walk as much as possible to keep you,r blood circulating ,and of course eat healthy.

Coronary Heart Disease can be caused by obesity, stress, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, and smoking. You should see your doctor; he/she can help you figure out your stress, blood pressure, and cholesterol levels. For now, I would cut down on meat, trans fats (ie crisco) and eat lots of fruits and veggies. Fish is also good. Basically, reduce your intake of anything that doesn't come from the ground. Good luck with it!

Tif is right on the money. Listen to her and don't forget exercise

You probably don't have heart disease, but I'm not a doctor so this is not medical advice. Probably just anxiaty. Ignore it unless you feel faint or otherwise unusual.
2 :
You don't have heart disease, some variation in your heart rate is to be expected. Your hear rate will increase and decrease with your level of activity.
3 :
You could have some type of a heart condition, I am now 52, but when i was a child i also has irregular heartbeats at times, my doctors always said it was nothing, (no tests were ever run on me. Once i turned 50 i had a heart attack and needed to have a open heart surgery to re-place my aortic valve, Had i been checked out when i was a child for my heart , they would have noticed a murmor , i feel my heart attack could have been prevented , had a doctor taken a closer listen when i was a child. tell your doctor to check it out any way, you can have heart disease at any age,,, i was 2 when mine started,,

Your statistical chance of having coronary artery disease is less than 1%. Fast heart rates or palpitations in young people can be very benign. Even things that can cause rapid heart rates in young people are rarely dangerous (Long QT, and Brugada's syndrome are exceptions). If you are really worried have your parents/ MD bring to a pediatric cardiologist. It is unlikely however that you have anything wrong with you

no average lifespan on record... survival actually depends on the progression of the disease. if you are careful enough with the foods you eat and strain yourself less... you will have a better chance of survival..... you may have harder times when breathing and your body parts may sometimes fell numb.. that's because your heart pumps little blood but nothing to worry.... its the obvious symptom.
2 :
This is almost impossible to predict, as there are a host of things that could go wrong very quickly -- causing exacerbations of failure and quite possibly, death. Probably the most compelling is the fact that this person's ejection fraction is only 15%. This alone poses a great danger to the patient, and life expectancy. However, if this person also has a host of other conditions (diabetes, cholesterol problems, etc., etc) then life expectancy can certainly be lessened. What I can't offer is an absolute -- like telling you that he/she only has 6-12 months to live. That is highly dependent on so many other factors, and if they are considered to be "stable" with any chronic conditions. Best of luck!
3 :
The real problem is this is a disease you can't recover from. You can't exercise there is no way to fix it. So really its just a matter of time but there are too many variables. Its not a virus with a normal progression it can't be clocked. Sorry :(
4 :
Seems like we both have the same problem., except my ejection fraction is 20%. I also have a pacemaker,defibrillator implanted into my chest. and have spend many days this year in the hospital in v-tac. Has your unit ever discharged mine has on many occasions, most in a row is 5 after the forth shock I said someone please shoot me. The average lifespan for you and I is probably a bit shorter then the average person but we shouldn't worry about it, there is only so much you can do. Best thing to do is live each day here on earth as of it was your last and let nature take it's course. Good Luck iggy465
