Ketones, Muscle Metabolism, and SGLT2 Inhibitors - Protocol 1
Abstract
To examine the effect of an increase in plasma beta-hydroxy-butyrate (B-OH-B) levels, spanning the physiologic and pharmacologic range (+0.5, +2.0, and +5.0 mmol/L), on: (i) parameters of left ventricular (LV) systolic and diastolic function utilizing cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and (ii) myocardial glucose uptake using positron emission tomography (PET) with 18F-fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose in type 2 diabetic patients with Class II-III New York Heart Association (NYHA).
Conditions: Heart Failure, Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus.
Primary outcome: Cardiac Output (CO); Ejection Fraction (EF); Left Ventricular Stroke Volume (LVSV).
Enrollment: 41 participants.
How strong is the evidence?
Evidence Hub reads this as a clinical trial, done in people. Its evidence level is 3 of 5 (Moderate · trial / cohort / secondary analysis). Trials without a large randomized design, cohorts and secondary analyses give moderate evidence. Reported size: 41 participants or records.
