Truly no: However, heart failure can cause pulmonary edema, which can lead to "cardiac wheezing" that has been mistaken for asthma. People do have both asthma and heart failure, and pollution can flair both diseases, but even then they are not truly inter-related in the body(one does not cause or exacerbate the other).
