Can heart failure be prevented?

The best way to prevent heart failure is to never have a heart attack, but if you do, there are still cures. The Lyon Heart Study shows that a Mediterranean diet can prevent heart failure in people who have had a heart attack.

Following other healthy lifestyle recommendations, such as not smoking, not drinking heavily, eating a plant-based diet, eating a diet rich in antioxidants, eating an anti-inflammatory diet (such as the Mediterranean diet), and getting daily physical activity may also help prevent heart failure.

Treating early signs and risk factors for heart failure, such as high blood pressure, being overweight or obese, and hardening of the arteries (atherosclerosis) are also strategies to prevent congestive heart failure.

Stress can raise blood pressure, worsen diabetes, and lead to coronary artery disease. Learning stress resilience techniques, such as transcendental meditation, yoga or meditation, can reduce the risk of several cardiovascular diseases by 48%.
