Brief Summary:
SODIUM-HF is a multicenter clinical trial in ambulatory patients with chronic HF to evaluate the efficacy of a low sodium containing diet on a composite clinical outcome composed of of all-cause mortality, cardiovascular hospitalizations and cardiovascular emergency department visits. The hypothesis of this study is that patients following a low-sodium containing diet will have fewer clinical events (fewer hospital readmissions or emergency department visits, longer survival) than those randomized to Usual Care.

    All-cause mortality, cardiovascular hospitalizations or cardiovascular emergency department visits


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Exercise capacity [ Time Frame: 12 months ]
    Change in exercise capacity as measured by the 6-minute walk test (6MWT)

  2. NYHA functional class [ Time Frame: 12 months ]
    Change in NYHA class treated as a categorical variable

  3. Quality of life (KCCQ) [ Time Frame: 12 months ]
    Change in quality of life assessed by the KCCQ

Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Patients recruited if they are 18+ years or older, with confirmed diagnosis of HF (both reduced and preserved systolic function are eligible), NYHA class II-III, and willing to sign informed consent.

Exclusion Criteria:

Subjects will be excluded if:

  • Average dietary intake of <1500 mg/ day by a quantitative or semi-quantitative method
  • Serum sodium <130mmol/L
  • Renal failure (glomerular filtration rate <30 mL/min)
  • Hepatic failure
  • Uncontrolled thyroid disorder
  • Cardiac device (ICD or CRT) or revascularization procedure (PCI or CABG) in previous month or planned in next 3 months
  • Hospitalization due to cardiovascular causes in previous 1 month
  • Uncontrolled atrial fibrillation (resting heart rate >90 bpm)
  • Active malignancy
  • Moderate-severe dementia
  • Enrolled in another interventional research study
  • Patients will be excluded, if in the opinion of the investigator, another condition exists that would preclude dietary compliance or compliance with the protocol.
