How long can a young person live with congestive heart failure?

My fiance is only 20 and has been diagnosed with congestive heart failure. I'm in a panic because all of my online research says most people with this condition only live 5 or 10 years. Is this still true if you are diagnosed so young?
Does anyone know someone that was diagnosed with this early in life and live a long full life?
