Do you still recommend daily fluid restriction to ambulatory patients with mild to moderate heart failure symptoms, given RCT data showing no improvement in health status compared to liberal fluid intake?

No, I don't recommend daily fluid restriction for outpatients with mild/moderate HF symptoms. The data do not support it, and some patients truly feel limited and frequently thirsty with this intervention.
