There are risk factors which can lead to Heart Failure such as hypertension, hyperlipidemia, diabetes, insulin 
resistance and etc. Among hypertensive heart disease patient, risk factors such myocardial infarction, angina pectoris, diabetes, left venticular hypertrophy and valvular heart disease are conditions which can lead to heart failure (adapted from Levy D, et al. JAMA. 1996;275:1557–1562).
Therefore, managing hypertension with blood pressure optimalization effort can decrease risk of new heart failure by 50-80% (Dahlöf B, et al. Lancet. 1991;338:1281-1285). Accordingly, there are types of intervention in the range of heart failure prevention and treatment strategies from weight loss, smoking cessation, lowering chloesterol, anti hypertensive therapy to the transplantation effort.
The figure above shows an algorithm for treatment of hypertension as guided in The JNC 7.
