If you have heart damage, it can lead to CHF, however, it can just come on with age. Also, it depends what part of the heart has CHF, certain areas lead to ankle edema and other areas lead to lung edema. The japanese give CHF patients Coenzyme Q

Hi Norm, welcome to the forum! CHF stands for Congestive Heart Failure.
