Article Synopsis
- Heart failure (HF) is becoming more prevalent in Pakistan, and the study focuses on how dietary patterns can affect HF progression and quality of life for patients.
- A study with 170 HF patients investigated dietary habits using a Food Frequency Questionnaire, measuring changes in heart function, hospitalization rates, quality of life, and biochemical markers.
- Results showed that a heart-healthy diet improved heart function, reduced hospitalizations, and lowered mortality rates, highlighting the importance of culturally adapted dietary guidelines in HF management.

An abnormal trace would indicate a distressed fetus, whereas a normal trace would indicate a well-oxygenated fetus.
