Chronic heart failure (CHF) is a clinical syndrome caused by a combination of factors, which refers to the pathological condition of ventricular filling, impaired ejection and cardiac output cannot meet the metabolic needs of the body. According to research data, CHF occurs well in middle-aged and elderly groups, with 39.2% of patients aged 60 to 70 year group, 60.8% aged 70 to 80 year group. CHF is the final manifestation of cardiovascular disease and it is the leading cause of death in patient
