Another question: are you offering banana to keep the potassium at safe levels?
Low potassium can thrown off heart rhythm, as can cardiomyopathy affecting critical sections of the heart, heart block also affects what will be heard.
Here is some furosemide info:

and when it messes up blood glucose it tends to raise it, not lower it. Of course aberrant individuals exist.
It can be hard at times to tell problems related to the heart from blood glucose drops. We've been there and I can attest to that first hand.
What heart meds are being used?
