What are the recommendations for people with heart failure regarding salt and fluid consumption?
The recommendations for people with heart failure regarding salt and fluid consumption are to not routinely advise people to restrict their sodium or fluid consumption. People should be asked about salt and fluid consumption and, if needed, advised to restrict fluids for people with dilutional hyponatraemia and reduce intake for people with high levels of salt and/or fluid consumption. It is also recommended to review the need to restrict salt or fluid and to advise people with heart failure to avoid salt substitutes that contain potassium.
