“Limiting sodium is still the way to go to help manage heart failure, but the amount of restriction has been up for debate,” Dr. Anirudh Palicherla said.
People suffering from heart failure — a condition that affects 6 million American adults — whomay be increasing their risk of death, according to a new study presented Thursday.
Consuming too much salt has been linked to high blood pressure, heart disease and stroke, leading the Food and Drug Administration toto eat no more than 2.3 grams of sodium per day. A US adult typically consumes 3.4 grams daily. Researchers at the Creighton University School of Medicine in Omaha have found that too little salt can actually put heart failure sufferers at greater risk — great news for those patients who want to spice up their food.
“Our findings showed that restricting dietary sodium to less than the usual recommendation was counterproductive in the management of heart failure,” Dr. Anirudh Palicherla, the study’s lead author and an internal medicine resident at the university,While the FDA promotes dietary salt limits, Nebraska researchers are challenging the assumption that sodium restriction has positive benefits for heart failure patients.
In total, nearly 3,500 heart failure patients were included in the study, which was presented at the American College of Cardiology’s Annual Scientific Session Together With the World Congress of Cardiology.The scientists determined that patients whose sodium intake fell below 2.5 grams per day were 80% more likely to die than those who consumed more, leading researchers to believe over-restricting has no benefits for these patients.
