What advice should be offered to people with heart failure regarding salt and fluid restrictions?
Do not routinely advise people with heart failure to restrict their sodium or fluid consumption. Ask about salt and fluid consumption and, if needed, advise as follows: restricting fluids for people with dilutional hyponatraemia reducing intake for people with high levels of salt and/or fluid consumption. Continue to review the need to restrict salt or fluid. Advise people with heart failure to avoid salt substitutes that contain potassium.
