Coronary artery disease and high blood pressure are the main risk factors for congestive heart failure.
increase in water will increase the blood pressure. high blood pressure usually precipitate the heart failure.

Congestive Heart failure.
Congestive heart failure is a buildup of fluid due to a failure of the heart to maintain a normal forward flow. It is a pump problem. Symptoms my include swelling of the soft tissues of the extremities, particularly the lower extremities, shortness of breath from buildup of fluid in the lungs, inability to lie down due to shortness of breath, decreased appetite, and exercise intolerance.An enlarged heart may be seen on chest xray in a patient with congestive heart failure, but other conditions may cause an enlarged heart as well, including chronic hypertension.
A promising treatment for Congestive Heart Failure is EECP (Enhanced External Counter-Pulsation).
