Protocol summary

Study aim
Our goal of this study is to know what effect the intervention has on hsCRP, ESR, lipid profile, blood sugar, appetite, fatigue, blood pressure, anthropometric indices, pulse rate and exercise test results in heart failure patients.
Design
The clinical trial has a control group and is factorial. This study is open label and has 120 patients. STATA version 16 software is used for randomization.
Settings and conduct
In this study, 120 people with heart failure will be divided into two intervention and control groups. The place where the study is conducted is in the Cardiac Rehabilitation Center and Clinic of Chamran Hospital, Isfahan. This study is open. The assessor, the laboratory and the epidemiologist were blinded to the method of intervention.

In other words, people whose EF is less than 40.
Intervention groups
This study has four groups and 30 people have been allocated for each group. The first group receive vitamin D, the second group will receive DASH diet, and the third group will receive both interventions (vitamin D and DASH diet) at the same time. The fourth group (control) receives placebo .

Randomized
Randomization description
In this study, to allocate people in the intervention and control groups, we use the block method and we use the eight block method, and according to this blocking, the chance of assigning people to each of the four groups will be the same. . Our sample size is 120 people, 90 people will be in the intervention group and 30 people will be in the control group. Random allocation method is block classification using Stata software version 16. Blocking will be done by an epidemiologist.

Method of measurement
through laboratory kits for measuring LDL, HDL, THREE TRIGLYCERIDE, TOTAL CHOLESTEROL

Description
Cardiac exercise test is one of the necessary tests to check the heart's performance in active mode. The cardiologist requests this test to check the possibility of heart diseases in the patient. This test is one of the body checkup tests for people with heart problems. In this test, the patient usually walks on a regular treadmill according to the Bruce protocol or a similar exercise program, until the heart rate reaches the expected level or certain symptoms appear in the person. The process of performing this test is that heart function and blood pressure are checked in the exercise test, before, during and after the exercise test. These tests help the doctor to diagnose the problem.
Timepoint
At the beginning of the study and two months after the intervention
Method of measurement
First, the pulse, blood pressure and heart rate are measured and then they are measured and recorded repeatedly during the test. After the heart examination, it will be placed on the treadmill for the exercise test. This device is a movable and rolling rubber plate (similar to a conveyor) on which the patient stands and must walk on it to maintain balance. Every 3 minutes, the slope of the strip will increase by 2% and its speed will increase by 1.2 km per hour.
