Matching Perfusion and Metabolic Activity in HFpEF
This study is looking at new ways to help people with Heart Failure with Preserved Ejection Fraction (HFpEF), a condition where your heart pumps normally but is too stiff to fill properly. We are testing if Potassium Nitrate, a drug that may increase blood flow to muscles, can improve your ability to exercise. We are also testing a combination of Potassium Nitrate with Propionyl-L-Carnitine and Nicotinamide Riboside, which might also improve how your muscle cells use energy. You could be eligible if you are an adult, have NYHA Class II-III symptoms (meaning you have some limitations with physical activity), and your heart's pumping function is at least 50%. The main goal is to see if these treatments improve your endurance during exercise after 6 weeks.
- Study design
- This interventional study plans to enroll 53 participants to test different treatments for HFpEF.
- What's involved
- Not specified in the trial record.
- Compensation
- Not stated in the trial record.
- Follow-up
- The primary endpoint is measured at week 6, suggesting follow-up for at least that duration.
