Is high nutritional risk associated with worse health-related quality of life in patients with heart failure beyond sodium intake?
These findings show that higher nutritional risk beyond sodium intake affects worse HRQoL in patients with HF. Further work is required to provide specific dietary guidelines to improve health outcomes for patients with HF.
The sweat conductivity test yielded a high degree of diagnostic accuracy and it showed good agreement with sweat chloride. We suggest that it should play a role as a diagnostic test for CF in the near future.
