First seen Feb 06, 2026 · Last updated May 06, 2026 · Updated 13 times

Summary

This study tests whether adding L-arginine, a natural amino acid, to standard heart failure treatment can improve heart function and symptoms. About 200 adults with a weak heart pump (ejection fraction below 40%) will take L-arginine or a placebo for a period. The goal is to see if this supplement helps the heart work better and eases symptoms like shortness of breath.
