Do low sodium diets reduce the morbidity and mortality in patients with congestive heart failure?In patients with systolic congestive heart failure (CHF) on high doses of furosemide (at least 125 mg twice daily) and fluid restriction, outpatient sodium restriction of 1.8 g daily leads to ...
This fibrosis results from a synergy between left ventricular (LV) hypertrophy and uremia per se [10,11], and also contributes to a stiff and impaired myocardium and ultimately congestive heart failure [12-16]. There is a range of clinical evidence that supports the crucial role of for LV ...
Testosterone can cause breast tissue growth in men (gynecomastia) treated for hypogonadism Testosterone may promote sodium and water retention; patients with pre-existing heart, liver or kidney disease are at a higher risk for developingedema, with or withoutcongestive heart failure(CHF) Large doses ...
[Na+], diabetes mellitus, coronary artery disease, CV disease, congestive heart failure, cerebrovascular disease, lung disease, and cancer [72,92,93]. The most plausible explanation for these observations relates to decreased hemodynamic stability with lower dialysate [Na+], and the vulnerability ...
A low-sodium diet is an essential part of the treatment of hypertension. However, some concerns have been raised with regard to the possible reduction of iodine intake during salt restriction. We obtained 24-h urine collections for the evaluation of iodine (UIE) and sodium excretion (UNaV) fr...
Diet is one modifiable risk factor for hypertension. The low-sodium DASH (Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension) eating plan has been shown to significantly reduce the risk of hypertension and cardiovascular disease. However, there is a lack of availab
Congestive heart failure is a disease when the heart does not pump blood as well as it should. It is caused by high levels of cholesterol that causes coronary artery disease.
This fibrosis results from a synergy between left ventricular (LV) hypertrophy and uremia per se [10, 11], and also contributes to a stiff and impaired myocardium and ultimately congestive heart failure [12–16]. There is a range of clinical evidence that supports the crucial role of for LV...
