Patients with heart failure who consume a diet rich in protein may have a better chance of living longer, according to new research.

A study presented at the World Congress on Heart Failure, a European Society of Cardiology event in Vienna, said a protein rich-diet could help the one in 10 people who have suffered heart failure.

The study investigated a link between protein intake and survival in 2,281 patients with heart failure, conducted in 11 European countries.

Researchers said more trials should be done to determine a recommended daily protein intake for patients with heart failure.

“We observed that in patients with heart failure, a higher protein intake is independently associated with better survival,” said Koen Streng, study author and PhD student at the University Medical Centre Groningen, the Netherlands.

“The study did not look at causes for this link, but it is likely that dietary protein builds muscle mass, which is beneficial for health in these patients.”
