"Factors such as high fever, anemia, lung infections, pulmonary embolism, high salt or fluid intake, overexertion, obesity, stress, and rapid heartbeat can worsen or trigger congestive heart failure in people with already weakened hearts."
" Scientists in Japan said they have uncovered evidence, based on mouse studies, that shows it may be possible to delay or prevent heart failure in humans."
