Patients with chronic heart failure should avoid overexertion and ensure ample rest to prevent exacerbating the cardiac burden. Emotional upsets should be avoided as they can intensify heart failure. In terms of diet, avoid high-protein, easily digestible foods and consume more vegetables and fruits instead. Avoid overly salty foods as they contain a higher amount of sodium chloride which can increase blood volume and worsen heart failure. While treating the primary disease, efforts should be made to minimize the burden on the heart, utilizing effective diuretics to reduce blood volume and correct chronic heart failure.
