Ketone supplement for heart failure with reduced pumping ability
Part of Heart & circulation, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a ketone supplement can improve heart function and exercise ability in people with heart failure and a reduced ejection fraction. It may help you feel better during daily activities.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been on stable heart medications for at least 2 weeks.
- You have heart failure with a reduced pumping ability (ejection fraction of 45% or less) and have symptoms like shortness of breath or fatigue during activity (NYHA class II or III).
- You have not been on a keto diet in the last week.
- You do not have type 1 diabetes.
- You do not have serious liver disease or heavy alcohol use.
