Diabetes should be strictly controlled. Echocardiography should be done and see whether there is valve defects such as mitral valve /tricuspid valve regurgitation (back flow of the blood). If there is pedal edema and cardiac asthma, the patient should be admitted to the hospital for better care and treatment.
Please see the webpages for more details on Heart failure.
