Ketone drink for acute heart failure recovery
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests a special ketone drink to see if it can help people recently hospitalized with acute heart failure feel better and recover faster. It measures how the drink affects the heart and body during the early days in the hospital.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have acute heart failure with shortness of breath when active or at rest
- You have been in the hospital for less than 48 hours
- Your kidney function (eGFR) is above 15 mL/min
- Your NT-proBNP level is at least 1000 pg/mL
- You do not have type 1 diabetes
- You are not on dialysis or a mechanical heart pump

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.
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.
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 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.
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 study tests whether a special ketone drink can improve exercise ability and heart function in people with type 2 diabetes. Participants will have two treadmill exercise tests and heart MRI scans to see how the drink affects their performance and cardiac efficiency.
