Ketone drink for treating acute heart failure
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are currently in the hospital for acute heart failure, with symptoms like shortness of breath, fluid build-up, or swelling.
- You have been in the hospital for less than 48 hours.
- Your kidney function is above a certain level (not on dialysis).
- You have a high level of a heart stress marker called NT-proBNP (at least 1000).
- You do not have type 1 diabetes.
- You are not on a heart-assist device (like a mechanical pump) or more than one IV heart medication.
- Your digestive tract is working normally (able to take food or drink by mouth).

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 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 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 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 a special drink with ketones to see if it can help your heart pump better during sepsis. It is for people in the ICU who have a weakened heart due to infection.
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.
