HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

Hypertension is one of the most common causes of heart (cardiac) failure.

Delayed progression would be achieved by controlling the blood pressure and reducing other risk factors. This means : (1) controlling the cholesterol
(2)if there is any diabetes- controlling blood sugars
(3)reducing smoking if this is an issue
(4)physical activity as directed by her doctor- for example short walks

The fine basal atelectatic plates infer that there is minor collapse in the lower areas of the lungs.

I hope this helps
