Study Summary

This study will provide insight into whether cardiac function changes with oral Ketone Esters (KE) administered to patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) and Heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF). Plasma ketones are avidly extracted by cardiac muscle and their uptake is not dependent upon insulin or influenced by insulin resistance.

Primary Outcome

Change in cardiac efficiency after acute dosing of KE, measured by change in Left-ventricular function measured using Cardiac MRI and expressed as a percentage.
