Olive Oil for Heart Failure With Weak Pumping
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests whether taking extra virgin olive oil supplements helps people with heart failure where the heart doesn't pump strongly enough. Researchers want to see if olive oil, combined with cardiac rehabilitation exercise, can improve heart function and overall health.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF)—meaning your heart's pumping strength is 35% or lower
- You are referred to and enrolled in cardiac rehabilitation (heart rehab program) but have not yet attended your first session
- You are able and willing to follow the study instructions and can sign an informed consent form
- You do not have a terminal illness or serious condition expected to limit your survival
- You do not have end-stage kidney disease
- You do not currently use more than 4 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil per day and are willing to incorporate it into your diet

This study looks at fat around the heart in people with heart failure where the heart still pumps normally. It uses MRI scans to understand this fat better, and may help find new treatments.
This study tests a new exercise program for people over 65 with heart failure where the heart pumps less efficiently. The goal is to see if tailored exercise is safe and helpful for breathing, energy, and daily function.
This study compares two types of exercise programs—neuromuscular training and resistance training—to see which helps people with weakened heart function improve their ability to perform daily activities. Both programs are designed to be safe and manageable for people living with heart failure.
This study tests whether combining a healthy eating plan (DASH diet) with supervised exercise can help people with heart failure where the heart doesn't pump strongly enough. The goal is to see if these lifestyle changes improve heart function and symptoms.
This study looks at how metabolic changes, diet, and lifestyle patterns affect heart failure. It may help find ways to improve symptoms and health by targeting diet and daily habits.
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.
