According to the American Heart Association:

http://216.185.112.5/presenter.jhtml?identifier=3126

AHA Statement
12/30/1999

Eliminating cardiovascular disease would increase U.S.
life expectancy by seven years.

...

Within one year of having a heart attack, 25 percent of
men and 38 percent of women will die.

The answer depends on how soon after the heart attack the life
expectancy is determined. The longer a person lives after a heart
attack, the more closer the person comes to having a normal lifespan.
