L-Arginine for heart failure patients with low pump function
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests whether adding L-arginine, a natural amino acid, to your usual heart failure treatment can help your heart pump better. It is for people with moderate to severe heart failure and stable kidney function.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your ejection fraction (heart pump strength) is below 40%.
- Your kidney function (eGFR) is above 30 mL/min.
- You are not currently hospitalized for heart failure and are stable.
- You do not have an implantable heart device (ICD).
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding.
- You have no active herpes infection and are not allergic to L-arginine.
