High-protein diet with HMB for heart failure
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests whether eating more protein and taking a supplement called HMB (which may help preserve muscle) improves health and strength in people with heart failure. It aims to see if this nutrition approach can help you feel better and maintain muscle.
