Unfortunately, anyone can develop heart failure, but it usually occurs in people who have another existing condition. People who've had heart attacks are more prone to developing heart failure than people who haven't had heart attacks. People with other existing conditions such as diabetes and high blood pressure can develop heart failure. There can be other things that lead to heart failure like too much alcohol or problems with the heart itself, valve problems or muscle diseases of the heart.
