Condition: Heart Failure
Study Type: INTERVENTIONAL
Official Title: A SkeleTal Muscle Recovery Intervention With Dietary Protein in Heart Failure
Brief Summary:
Severe skeletal wasting and catabolic weight loss are highly common among patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF).This prospective randomized controlled trial will compare changes in the muscle mass in the arms and the legs (appendicular lean mass) in patients with HFrEF randomized between 3 groups of no, low- or high-dose protein supplementation.The dietary protein supplementation will be Ensure(R) products manufactured by Abbott Nutrition.The Investigators hypothesize that skeletal…
