Summary

The objective of the study is to examine the effect of nutritional intake on cardiometabolic, inflammation, and physical function markers in advanced heart failure patients using a one-group pre-post test design feeding trial. Effects on hemodynamic markers will be assessed in a subsample of patients with implanted hemodynamic monitoring devices (CardioMEMS). The pre-test condition is represented by participants' self-selected diet, and the post-test condition is represented by a prescribed Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) diet.
