Summary

This study looked at how increasing ketone levels in the blood affects heart function in 41 adults with type 2 diabetes and heart failure. Researchers used heart scans to measure how well the heart pumps blood and how it uses sugar for energy. The goal was to understand the body's response, not to test a new treatment.
