Is death always inevitable if refused?

Well the heart is not working properly so in a way yes. But I am not a dr and do not know what the heart function is like. It is a big op that they do not undertake lightly iyswim. are you ok?

Oh yes I am fine it is my dad who needs one and refuses, he is an evil man so I'm not affected by it, just curious.

long-term I guess you can expect death from heart/circulation related causes.

Why is he refusing ?

Could still go on for years potentially. why is he refusing?

I dont know why hes refusing, hes a stubborn man and will stick with his decision, he has had heart problems for 20 odd years and had a heart attack about 12 months ago.
