Unsaturated Fatty Acids Enriched-diet to Improve Cardiorespiratory Fitness, Metabolic Flexibility and Glucose Tolerance in Obese Patients

NCT03310099 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 16

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The investigators hypothesize that a dietary intervention aimed at increasing unsaturated fatty acids (UFA) consumption is feasible and has the potential to improve cardiorespiratory fitness, metabolic flexibility and glucose tolerance in symptomatic obese heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) patients.

Conditions

  • Heart Failure With Normal Ejection Fraction
  • Obesity

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Increasing daily unsaturated fatty acid consumption

Investigators will provide participant with detailed information about the consumption of food rich in unsaturated fatty acids (UFA) like extra-virgin olive oil, canola oil or mixed nuts, and they will provide specific recommendations based on the participant's diet. The investigators will follow up with a weekly phone call to assure that the dietary recommendations are clear and that the participants can integrate the suggestions into their daily diets.
