Clinical Trial Summary

Background: Acute heart failure is a potentially life-threatening condition, reaching mortality rates of up to 50% in advanced cases. The investigators have shown that infusion of ketone bodies increase cardiac output by 40% in stabile patients with chronic heart failure. However, there are no data showing the effects of ketone on patients with acute heart failure Objectives: To investigate the effect of ketone supplementation in patients with acute heart failure and cardiogenic shock, using two different types of oral ketone supplements. Methods: The investigators will conduct four randomized placebo-controlled studies, to investigate the hemodynamic effect of exogenous ketones in acute heart failure and cardiogenic shock. Perspectives: The present study will determine the potential beneficial effects of ketone supplements in patients with acute heart failure.
