Initially very short of breath--sometimes wake up gasping--need to sleep with torso elevated.
But after about one year careful exercise every day I completed two 300 mile bike trips and now hike and snowshoe and live very normally.
Heart attack was extremly bad 6 years ago so with good diet, exercise and good attitude it can be overcome.
Not to be confused with stroke as first answer seems to have done and many many people live long lives after a heart attack

The ones I have seen had drooping of the left eye and serious trouble breathing plus spent many more hours laying in bed resting. Memory lapse was very common as well as being less talkative.

Depends how much damage the heart sustained, but generally 35% die within one year of heart attach.
