Multicenter Study
Dietary habits are related to outcomes in patients with advanced heart failure awaiting heart transplantation.
Empirical evidence supporting the benefits of dietary recommendations for patients with advanced heart failure is scarce. We prospectively evaluated the relation of dietary habits to pre-transplant clinical outcomes in the multisite observational Waiting for a New Heart Study. ⋯ These results support the importance of dietary habits for the prognosis of patients listed for heart transplantation, independently from heart failure severity.
