Interventions for Dietary Sodium Restriction Among Patients with Heart Failure: A Mismatch in the Evidence and Intervention Design (OR22-05-19)

摘要

ObjectivesDietary sodium restriction guidelines are controversial due to a lack of studies assessing their effect on heart failure outcomes. An important aspect of this problem is the effectiveness of behavioral nutrition interventions to reduce patients’ sodium intake. We systematically reviewed randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of sodium restricted diets and descriptive studies relating mediators of behavior to successful adherence to sodium restricted diets in patients with heart failure.
