Ways to improve congestive heart disease symptoms?

I’m interested in ways to improve a congestive heart disease patient’s symptoms, ie edema of the legs and abdomen, stomach aches, confusion, sleeping problems due to breathing issues, extreme fatigue. My Dad is suffering from various complications due to his congestive heart disease. He was an alcoholic for years, which led to his condition. After his last close call, almost had a heart attack, he has been sober for six months. He’s still a smoker, which I’m working on, he’s already tried chantix and ect, but if you know of a better way please share that as well! His doctor just keeps putting him on different meds, I’m wanting other avenues through lifestyle changes or any other kind of helpful tip to improve his symptoms and I would like to print off some literature to actually give him to read. anything would be helpful!

Heart failure is a syndrome of ventricular dysfunction. Left ventricular failure causes shortness of breath and fatigue, and right ventricular failure causes peripheral and abdominal fluid accumulation; the ventricles can be involved together or separately. Diagnosis is initially clinical, supported by chest x-ray, echocardiography, and levels of plasma natriuretic peptides. treatment includes diuretics, ACE inhibitors, angiotensin II receptor blockers, β-blockers, aldosterone antagonists, specialized implantable pacemakers, and correction of the underlying disorder.
