Summary

This study tests whether a carefully controlled high-fat diet can improve heart function in people with a specific type of heart failure (non-ischemic dilated cardiomyopathy). Researchers believe that switching the heart's fuel source back to fats may help it pump more effectively. The trial will involve 80 adults across four European countries, who will follow the diet for two months while their heart function is monitored with MRI scans.
