What is the life expectancy of a heart problem patient?

I am a TOTAL layman, but after having done extensive research here on line to answer this question about my 77 year old dad, what I've been able to discover is that there IS NO ANSWER... that the life expectancy for a patient with end stage congestive heart failure is completely unique to that particular individual. Their age, level of strength, degree of heart damage and a mulititude of other factors all play a part in the eventuality. The closest that I could find to narrowing this down is that on the high side of the factors, a person might expect as much as five years. On the lowest possible scale of factors, several weeks to months.
