Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Dietary and nutritional aspects in patients with heart failure, as well as their association with patient performance and outcome, remain underinvestigated. This issue aims to address these topics as a whole, from epidemiological, pathophysiological, management and outcome aspects. Specific emphasis will be placed on interventional studies and studies to identify achievable targets for clinical practice. Also, studies about reliable and validated tools for patient assessment are encouraged. Large-scale, preferably nationally representative epidemiological data are also of great interest for this topic.
