About this study

In plain language

This study looks at whether a low-salt diet helps people with heart failure stay healthier. It will study how salt intake is linked to returning to the hospital within 30 days. It is for adults over 18 who were admitted to the hospital for heart failure within the past 24 hours.

The purpose of this study is to understand if low sodium (cardiac) diet is indeed necessary for better health outcomes in patients who suffered heart failure. This study will investigate the association between sodium intake and risk for 30-day re-admission in Heart Failure (HF) patients.

Compensation is read from the study's own description and may be missing — always confirm with the study team.

Eligibility

Who can join

  • You are over 18 years old.

  • You have high blood pressure, with a reading above 150/90 when admitted.
  • You have kidney failure and receive dialysis, a treatment that removes waste and extra fluid from the blood.
