This may be a bit off topic, but I have a friend who has recently been 
diagnosed with an enlarged heart, left ventricle, with dilated blood vessels 
in that ventricle.  He's told its a bad prognosis, that he may need a heart 
transplant to survive- of course the best of those only last ten years. My 
friend is 57.  I'm urging him to consider Cryonics Institute, for price 
reasons I think that is his best option. 

In addition to cryonics your friend may also want to consider
an operation called "left ventricular volume reduction". The

surgery was first performed here in Canada at Toronto Western in 1997. The idea 
is that an enlarged heart does 

not pump efficiently (low ejection fraction etc) causing the heart to respond by
once again enlarging etc. The operation restores some mechanical efficiency to 
the heart. Untreated, the condition could lead to cardiomyopathy which, in turn,
ultimately ends in death.  Prior to such an operation it would be a good idea
to have your friend ingest copious amounts of 
Q10 CoEnzyme, Vitamin E, NADH and Acetyl-L Carnitine.
