The American Dietetic Association released evidence-based dietary guidelines for people who suffer from congestive heart failure, or CHF. Why is this important? Evidence-based guidelines are based on the systematic review and analysis of clinical research in order to improve patient outcomes.

Guidelines now recommend that CHFers get nutritional advice from registered dietitians. Studies show that several visits with a dietician improve the patient’s quality of life through reducing edema, fatigue and possibly decreasing the number of hospitalizations.
