Ketogenic vs. Mixed Diet for Heart Failure
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study compares a ketogenic (low-carb, high-fat) diet to a standard mixed diet in people with heart failure. It aims to see if the ketogenic diet can improve heart function and symptoms.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 80 years old.
- You have mild to moderate heart failure that has been stable for at least 3 months.
- Your heart's pumping function (ejection fraction) is 40% or higher.
- You are overweight (BMI 25 or higher) or have diabetes, prediabetes, or metabolic syndrome.
- You are willing to follow either a ketogenic (low-carb, high-fat) or mixed diet for the study.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This early study looks at people with type 2 diabetes and certain types of heart failure to see whether changes in “ketones” relate to heart benefits. It may help researchers understand who could benefit most from treatment-related metabolism changes.
This study looks at how the heart muscle works in people with a type of heart failure where the heart pumps normally but doesn't fill properly. It aims to understand the cause better, which could lead to new treatments.
This study tests whether a special dietary supplement (ketone esters) can improve exercise ability and heart function in people with a type of heart failure where the heart pumps well but is stiff (HFpEF). You might join if you have stable symptoms, an ejection fraction of 50% or higher, and signs of fluid buildup in the heart.
This trial tests whether a high-fat diet can help change how your heart uses energy, potentially improving heart function in people with non-ischemic heart failure.
This trial tests whether adding a supplement containing ketones and hawthorn extract can help people with heart failure feel better and improve their heart function. You will take the supplement daily and have imaging scans and exercise tests to monitor your progress.
This study tests whether taking a special oral ketone supplement can help people with both heart failure and diabetes. It looks at both short-term and long-term effects on heart function and blood sugar control.
