PHASE2

Matching Perfusion and Metabolic Activity in HFpEF

Sponsor: University of Pennsylvania

View on ClinicalTrials.gov

Summary

This study will test whether pharmacologic agents that increase perfusion \[Potassium Nitrate (KNO3)\], with and without additional supplements that may improve mitochondrial function \[Propionyl-L-Carnitine (PLC) and Nicotinamide Riboside (NR)\], improve submaximal exercise endurance and skeletal muscle oxidative phosphorylation capacity (SkM OxPhos) in participants with Heart Failure with Preserved Ejection Fraction (HFpEF).

Interventions

DRUG

Potassium Nitrate

Potassium Nitrate is the active intervention that may increase blood flow to exercising muscle

DRUG

Potassium Nitrate + Propionyl-L-Carnitine + Nicotinamide Riboside

Potassium Nitrate + Propionyl-L-Carnitine + Nicotinamide Riboside will be used as a combination intervention to both increase blood flow (KNO3) and mitochondrial function (PLC + NR)

OTHER

Potassium Chloride
