0 I have a big cardiac exam coming up and even though most of the anatomy is review, I'm still having a hard time remembering blood flow through the heart and various structures.
Life expectancy varies for each person with Alzheimerâs disease (AD). The average life expectancy after diagnosis is eight to 10 years. In some cases, however, it can be as short as three years or as long as 20 years. AD can go undiagnosed for several years, too.
The general rule of thumb is that someone with Alzheimer's has half the life expectancy of a peer without this disease. So the average 70- year-old woman can expect to live 16 years, but a 70-year-old with Alzheimer's has an 8-year life expectancy.
