Official Title: Effects of Ketones on Cardiac Function and Oxygen Consumption in Heart Failure Patients With Reduced Ejection Fraction and Healthy Test Subjects
Brief Summary: Ketones may have beneficial effects on myocardial metabolism and hemodynamics. In the present study, healthy test subjects and patients with heart failure with reduced ejections fraction will be investigated in a randomized cross-over design with ketone infusions and placebo. Myocardial efficiency and hemodynamics will be evaluated.
