The survival time after heart failure in young patients is closely related to the individual patient’s condition, type of heart failure, as well as the underlying medical history and cardiac function classification, and cannot be generalized, with patients surviving for several years in short cases and decades in long cases. Most young people are less likely to develop chronic heart failure because they do not have chronic diseases such as hypertension, coronary artery disease, or diabetes. Heart failure in young clinical patients is mostly seen in acute myocarditis, acute infarction, and cardiac tamponade that lead to limitation of the heart’s systolic function, resulting in congestive heart failure. As the heart loses its effective pumping function, it can cause ischemia of important organs throughout the body, such as brain, kidney, spleen and lung, which leads to multi-organ failure and death. However, if patients can be treated actively, they may be cured. In conclusion, patients need to go to the cardiology department for standardized treatment promptly after symptoms appear, pay attention to rest and prevention of infection in general, and actively search for the cause of the disease and then treat it for the cause.
