Dear Marlene, Thank you for your question. There are no contraindications for someone with heart failure to outside in the cold. Cold can sometimes cause angina in someone who has not received therapy and it can cause asthma attacks in people with asthma. You can check with your doctor to make sure for your particular case if you are concerned. I hope you find this information useful.
