Blood thinners can help an individual suffering from a history of mini strokes.
Bruising on the hand can occur from receiving blood thinner medication.

Swollen ankles can be an indication of heart failure.

Often a diuretic medication is provided for those also suffering from heart failure to help get the fluid out.

Mind you thou.. if someone has been taking finasteride (Propecia) for years there is potential for kidney dysfunction which cause further complication.

A study in 2019 meta-analysis found that 5-years survival rate for people under 65 was around 79% while it was about 50% for those age 75 and over.

Scrutinizing the information further:
Some studies suggest that for an 80-year-old male with chronic heart failure, the life expectancy with the best care might be around 3.9 years and females 4.5 years.

Know anyone life this?

If so, they should not be in any high stress position or travel often. Getting regular rest is recommended.
