Heart failure is a disease that increases the likelihood of morbidity and mortality with an increased direct and indirect cost to the healthcare system. The role of diet in the development, progression and treatment of heart failure is being studied with growing interest. The objective of this study is to assess the relationship between heart failure and selected heart failure risk factors: hyperlipidemia, hypertension, diabetes mellitus and plant-based diets as a clinical intervention. The search yielded 416 published articles, among them are three studies that used a plant-based diet as an intervention for heart failure. All interventional studies showed that plant-based diets have a positive impact on heart failure in terms of improved ejection fraction and positive cardiac muscle remodelling.
心力衰竭是一种会增加发病和死亡可能性的疾病，会给医疗系统带来越来越高的直接和间接成本。饮食在心力衰竭的发生、发展和治疗中的作用正受到越来越多的关注。本研究的目的是评估心力衰竭与选定的心力衰竭风险因素之间的关系：高脂血症、高血压、糖尿病以及植物性饮食作为一种临床干预措施。检索结果共得到416篇已发表文章，其中有三项研究将植物性饮食用作心力衰竭的干预措施。所有干预性研究均表明，植物性饮食在改善射血分数和促进心肌正向重塑方面对心力衰竭有积极影响。
