By definition, end stage heart failure means that the heart muscle is very weak and unable to do its job. Patients with end stage heart failure are very tired and winded that slight activity becomes very difficult. The ultimate treatment for this condition is heart transplant or an artificial heart.
I don't think it can be quantified into months or years. There are many factors involved including the careful management of the underlying disease. Some people may be lucky to receive heart transplant as part of the management of the end stage disease.
Good luck to you!
End Stage heart failure is the end point. Heart is very weak. Must see Cardiologist.
