Abstract

The paper entitled "The unanimity of fluid restriction is still debating in patients with heart failure" by Chen et al., which was published online on April 21, 2020, has been withdrawn by the Publisher because it commented an article by Dr. De Vecchis et al. entitled “Effects of a restricted water intake on various clinical and laboratory outcomes in patients with heart failure: a meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials” which has been retracted due to self-plagiarism.
