Low-Sodium Salt for Heart Failure Patients
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests whether using a low-sodium salt substitute can help people with heart failure live longer, avoid hospital visits, and feel better. It's for adults with a weakened heart pump who have a caregiver and eat home-cooked meals.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tests whether providing healthy meals to veterans recently hospitalized for heart failure can improve their health and reduce the chance of going back to the hospital. Participants will receive meals at home for a period of time.
This study looks at how metabolic changes, diet, and lifestyle patterns affect heart failure. It may help find ways to improve symptoms and health by targeting diet and daily habits.
This study looks at how your kidneys handle salt and water when you're treated for acute heart failure in the hospital. Researchers want to understand which patients recover well from fluid buildup and which might need different treatment approaches.
This trial tests if using urine sodium levels to guide diuretic (water pill) dosing during hospital care for worsening heart failure can improve outcomes. The goal is to help doctors adjust treatment more effectively to clear extra fluid from the body.
