Use less salt/liquid: The main stay of management of heart failure is to take less salt and liquids, under 6 cups of liquied per 24 hours. There is no medicine that makes the heart significantly stronger, so we try not to load it with salt and water. There are some medicines that help including water pills and some BP meds, but salt and liquid restriction are the most effective therapy that most people miss.
