Quality of life (QoL) and burden scales have proved to be useful in estimating the impact of diseases and treatments from the patient's perspective. Yet, no data nor scales are currently available with respect to the burden associated with the low sodium diet usually prescribed in heart ...
It also makes heart failure symptoms worse, like the fluid buildup, weight gain, bloating, and swelling that happen when your heart doesn’t pump as well as it should. To help keep your condition under control, you need to be careful to get the right amount of sodium in your diet. ...
Dietary changes:Reduce sodium, opt for low-sodium choices, consume potassium-rich foods (e.g., bananas), increase fiber intake with whole grains, fruits, and vegetables, and consider the DASH diet emphasizing fruits, vegetables, and low-fat dairy. Physical activity:Engage in regular exercise (1...
Previous studies have shown that sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors reduce the risk of hospitalization from heart failure in patients with type 2 diabetes. However, most of the patients in these trials did not have pre-existing heart failure. Therefore, the results primarily sugges...

34-36,44 Low-molecular-weight heparin treatment has been shown45-52 to be effective and safe in patients with DVT and may also be so in patients with PE. We conducted a double-blind, randomized trial comparing low-molecular-weight heparin (tinzaparin sodium) with intravenous heparin treatment ...
Managing risk factors that can increase blood pressure and damage the kidneys is clinically important because it can prevent or minimize the likelihood of further blood pressure increases and kidney injury. Risk factors that can increase blood pressure include high sodium intake, low potassium intake,...
