Researchers have said that patients with heart failure are not useful to reduce fluid intake in results that are contrary to the current procedures recommended for their condition. Doctors in the United States and Europe advise patients with heart failure to limit the fluid intake to a liter and half a liter to reduce the accumulation of fluid in the lungs and limbs. But researchers said at a meeting of the American College of Heart Diseases that the evidence that supports such practice is not mentioned. In an experiment that includes 504 patients with medium to lights in the heart, no differences in the state of health appeared after 3 months between patients who did not limit their eating of fluids and among those who did. A report on the study published by the Nature Medicine Medical Patrol showed that the experiment also showed no differences in safety results such as swelling or shortness of breath; Due to the accumulation of fluid in the body that is usually occurring when the heart is in a state of illness or weakness, it cannot pump blood effectively. Patients in the group, who restricted the eating of fluids in the experiment, also said they were suffering from thirst. The experiment appeared in a tendency to improve the health of those who did not meet the amount of limited fluids in the three months, but the difference between the two groups was not statistically significant, which is why it may be the result of a coincidence. “What we have concluded is that patients with a stable state of heart failure do not have to reduce fluids,” said Roland van Kiminad, the most important researcher in the study of Radbod University University Center in Nimimakhn, in the Netherlands in a statement.
