A member asked:
Anyone who is afflicted with congestive heart failure & edema that has it go away with diet change?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Doesn't cure: Diet can certainly make congestive heart failure worse. Salt needs to be closely watched as it will precipitate fluid retention making the congestive failure even worse. Although diet can improve symptoms of congestive heart failure the problem still exist so continued care needs to be applied. With time the heart can improve with regards to its function so make sure medications are continued.
