Congestive Heart Failure (CHF) Prevention
Even with severe disease, appropriate exercise can benefit those with CHF. In a controlled trial, long-term (one year) exercise training led to improvements in quality of life and functional capacity in people with CHF. Nonetheless, too much exercise can be life-threatening for those with CHF. How much is “too much” varies from person to person; therefore, any exercise program undertaken by someone with CHF requires professional supervision.
Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) appear to significantly increase the risk of CHF. The use of NSAIDs in one preliminary study was found to double the likelihood of hospital admission with CHF the following week. This likelihood increased by more than 10 times for patients with a history of heart disease. This study did not include people taking low-dose aspirin.
