Hi.. Acute heart failure can nomalise with medications, but a chronic heart failure may not normalise.. Her symptoms may improve with medications and fluid management but the heart functions may remain the same.. Worse it can deteriorate if proper medications and fluid restriction is not practised as advised by your doctor..
