Heart failure is a serious complication of common chronic heart diseases with a high 5-year death rate of 50%, surpassing many cancers. Taiwanese people's love for hot pot has been highlighted as a major risk factor for heart failure, as consuming excessive broth and salty sauces can lead to an increased heart load. Dr. Chen Guan-Ren warns on a health program about the importance of controlling water and salt intake to prevent complications. Symptoms of heart failure include difficulty breathing, swelling, and fatigue, emphasizing the need for caution in consuming high-salt foods like hot pot in cold weather, to avoid worsening heart conditions.
