Study Summary

Non-ischemic cardiomyopathy and heart failure are highly influenced by the presence of systemic inflammation. Doxycycline is a FDA-approved drug to treat bacterial infections which also shows powerful anti-inflammatory effects. In this study we plan to determine the effects of Doxycycline in patients with stable heart failure and non-ischemic cardiomyopathy on peak of aerobic exercise capacity (peak V02) and ventilator efficiency measured with a cardiopulmonary test.

Primary Outcome

Interval change in peak VO2 measured at cardiopulmonary test

Interventions

  • DRUG placebo
  • DRUG Doxycycline
