Nutrition, Obesity and Cachexia in Patients with Heart Failure: A Consensus Statement from the HFSA Scientific Statements Committee.

•Patients with heart failure should be offered at least 1 session from a RDN or other health professional with specialist nutrition knowledge for nutritional evaluation and education.•DASH or Mediterranean dietary patterns both appear reasonable to recommend for normal-weight patients at risk of heart failure or with established heart failure.•At least 5%–10% weight loss is recommended for patients with heart failure and BMI ≥35 kg/m2.•For patients identified with malnutrition or cachexia, a goal protein intake of at least 1.1 g·kg−1·d−1 is reasonable.
