Does Keto Diet Help Reverse Heart Failure with Preserved Ejection Fraction? Request More Information Trial Objective The purpose of this study is to learn if a low carbohydrate ketogenic diet, or keto diet, can treat obesity-related heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). Studies have shown that weight loss through gastric bypass and calorie restriction can improve heart function. To see if a low carbohydrate diet works similarly, participants will follow a keto diet and be monitored for seven months. Enrollment Active Clinical Trials Currently Recruiting Who Can Participate Adults age 21-80 who meet clinical signs and symptoms of heart failure Patients who received a right heart catheterization (RHC) and cardiopulmonary exercise test within the last 6 months Patients who meet abdominal obesity with BMI > 30 kg/m2 or have a waist circumference: Men > 102 cm Women > 88 cm Patients must own and operate a smart phone or tablet with email capabilities.
