About this trial

This is an interventional treatment trial for Heart Failure focused on measuring Patients with stable heart failure

Eligibility Criteria

18 Years - undefined (Adult, Older Adult)All SexesDoes not accept healthy volunteers

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Patients will be recruited from each research center if they are 18 years or older, with confirmed diagnosis of Heart Failure (including both those with a reduced and preserved systolic function), NYHA II-IV, and willing to sign informed consent.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Subjects will be excluded if they have severe hyponatremia (serum sodium <130 mmol/L)
  • Renal failure (a glomerular filtration rate < 30 mL/min)
  • Uncontrolled thyroid disorders
  • Hepatic failure
  • Implantable cardiac device (ICD or CRT) or myocardial revascularization procedures (coronary angioplasty and/or surgical revascularization) in the previous 3 months
  • Uncontrolled atrial fibrillation or recurrent ventricular arrhythmias
  • Malignancy, or with moderate-severe dementia.
  • Patients will be excluded if, in the opinion of the investigator, another condition exists that would preclude dietary compliance or compliance with the protocol.
