    Surgical procedures, lifestyle changes, and medications are used to treat congestive heart failure. Surgery may involve opening or bypassing blocked arteries, while lifestyle changes focus on limiting salt, caffeine, and fluid intake along with low impact exercise. Medications like ACE inhibitors and beta blockers are often prescribed, especially for those with reduced ejection fractions. Congestive heart failure is diagnosed through discussing symptoms and history, physical exams, stress tests, and imaging tests that can show lasting effects like kidney or liver damage or fluid collections in the body.
