This study is testing whether switching to low-sodium substitute salt can improve health outcomes for people living with heart failure. Researchers will compare people who use low-sodium substitute salt with those who use regular salt over one year, measuring whether the medication helps reduce deaths, emergency room visits, and hospital stays, while also improving quality of life.
Heart failure patients are often told to eat less salt, but following a strict low-sodium diet is difficult for many people. This study wants to know if simply switching to low-sodium salt—an easy, everyday change—can make a real difference in keeping people healthier and out of the hospital.

You will be randomly assigned to use either low-sodium substitute salt or regular salt at home for at least one year. You'll have follow-up visits at 3, 6, 9, and 12 months where researchers will check how you're doing, ask about any hospital visits or emergency room trips, and ask questions about your quality of life. The study is double-blind, meaning neither you nor the researchers will know which salt you're using until the study ends.
