Summary

This study looks at whether adding protein supplements to the diet can prevent muscle wasting in people with heart failure. About 120 adults with heart failure and reduced pumping ability will be randomly assigned to receive no, low, or high doses of protein drinks. The main goal is to see if extra protein helps maintain or increase muscle mass in the arms and legs.
