Exclusion Criteria

  • Subjects will be excluded if they have severe hyponatremia (serum sodium \<130 mmol/L)
  • Renal failure (a glomerular filtration rate \< 30 mL/min)
  • Uncontrolled thyroid disorders
  • Hepatic failure
  • Implantable cardiac device (ICD or CRT) or myocardial revascularization procedures (coronary angioplasty and/or surgical revascularization) in the previous 3 months
  • Uncontrolled atrial fibrillation or recurrent ventricular arrhythmias
  • Malignancy, or with moderate-severe dementia.
  • Patients will be excluded if, in the opinion of the investigator, another condition exists that would preclude dietary compliance or compliance with the protocol.
