This review examines the role of the Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) diet and precision nutrition in managing heart failure (HF). HF affects millions globally, necessitating effective dietary interventions to improve patient health and reduce hospitalizations.

The study highlights the benefits of the DASH diet in lowering blood pressure, reducing sodium intake, and improving cardiovascular health. However, challenges include patient adherence, individual metabolic responses, and limited large-scale clinical trials. Precision nutrition could enhance HF management by tailoring dietary recommendations to individual needs.
