Should not yet change HF practice; hypothesis-generating for app-based sodium interventions and requires larger RCTs.
Does a tailored dietary sodium intervention using MyFitnessPal improve sodium intake, HF symptoms, and HRQOL in patients with heart failure?
p-value: p=<.05
A 6-session tailored dietary sodium intervention using MyFitnessPal is feasible and may improve sodium intake, symptoms, and quality of life in patients with heart failure.
Heo et al. (2018) studied Heart failure (n=11). Tailored dietary sodium intervention vs. Baseline was evaluated on Sodium intake, factors affecting sodium intake, HF symptoms, and HRQOL (p=<.05). A 6-session tailored dietary sodium intervention using MyFitnessPal was feasible and significantly reduced sodium intake and improved heart failure symptoms and quality of life (all P<.05).
