Description:
Background: Peripheral edema is associated with cardiomyopathy. It iscommonly observed in patients of heart diseases. It is known that restriction of sodium productscan reduce edema. So it was planned to conduct the study and find the effectiveness of salt andwater restriction in cardiomyopathy patients having peripheral edema. Objectives: To comparethe peripheral edema by restricting salt and water consumption in patients with cardiomyopathy.Study Design: Randomized control trial. Setting: Department of Cardiology, Punjab Instituteof Cardiology, Lahore. Duration: Six months. Methodology: 50 cases of cardiomyopathy withperipheral edema were randomly divided in 2 groups. In group A, patients were instructed toreduce salt and water intake per day and in group B, no water and salt restriction was instructed.All patients were followed-up in OPD for 15 days. Then patients were assessed for peripheraledema. Chi square test was applied to compare the frequency of peripheral edema in bothgroups. P-value<0.05 was considered as significant. Results: The mean age of the patients was46.00±12.98 years. There were 48% males and 52% females. Mean duration of cardiomyopathywas 5.56±2.98 years. The mean reduction in salt intake was 0.57±0.22 grams in experimentalgroup and 0.42±0.21 grams in control group (P<0.05). The mean reduction in water intakewas 0.72L in experimental group and 0.53L in control group (P<0.05). Peripheral edema wasfound in 8% in experimental group and 44% in control group (P<0.05). Conclusion: Our studyresults concluded that salt and water restriction can reduce peripheral edema in patients withcardiomyopathy and thus improve condition of patient.
