    A systematic review and meta-analysis evaluated the impact of sodium-restricted diets on heart failure patients' outcomes.

  • 2

    The analysis included 16 randomized controlled trials with a total of 2260 heart failure patients.

  • 3

    Sodium restriction was associated with increased all-cause mortality and cardiac mortality rates in heart failure patients.

  • 4

    No significant differences were found in heart failure readmission rates between sodium-restricted and control groups.

  • 5

    Sodium restriction may improve quality of life but does not lower serum NT-proBNP levels or reduce readmission risks.
