question: Hi, I am a 55 year old woman who had triple bypass when I was 47 years old. Family history of heart disease on my mother's side, so I feel lucky to be alive after the heart attack. I know how long the Dr. say the bypass lasts...10 to 15 years. My question is what is the life expectancy for someone with triple bypass? Are there statistics that predict how long I can live given the fact that I am not overweight, eat well, don't smoke, drink, exercise regularly, etc?
