Ketone supplement study for hospitalized heart failure patients
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This trial tests if a ketone supplement can help people hospitalized for acute heart failure. The supplement is given orally and aims to support the heart and energy levels during recovery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are at least 18 years old and admitted to the hospital for acute heart failure.
- You have new or worsening heart failure symptoms like shortness of breath or fatigue.
- You have signs of fluid buildup such as swelling in the legs, belly, or lungs.
- You need strong intravenous (IV) medication for heart failure, like furosemide (a water pill).
- Your heart's pumping ability (LVEF) is 35% or less, measured during this hospital stay.
- You have high levels of a heart stress marker (BNP or NT-proBNP) in your blood.

This trial tests whether giving a special liquid diet (ketones) through a thin tube in your nose helps your heart pump better when it's severely weakened and not getting enough blood to your body. Ketones are an alternative fuel your body can use instead of glucose.
This trial tests a new, faster way to increase heart failure medications during a hospital stay, aiming to get patients on the right doses sooner. It is for people with weak heart pumping (ejection fraction 40% or less) who are currently in the hospital for heart failure and are on low doses of standard medications.
This trial tests whether a special drink containing ketones, a type of energy source for the body, can help people who are in the hospital with acute heart failure. It may improve symptoms and help you feel better during your hospital stay.
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 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.
