NCT03966755 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 30

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

This study is designed to evaluate the effects of a diet rich in unsaturated fatty acids (UFA)-also known as 'healthy fats'-in patients with obesity and heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) on dietary consumption of UFA as well as fatty acids plasma levels.

Conditions

  • Obesity
  • Heart Failure With Normal Ejection Fraction

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

UFA dietary recommendations

The face-to-face intervention will be performed by a research nutritionist that reviews the dietary recall and provides a list of commonly available foods rich in unsaturated fatty acids (UFA) (monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFA) and polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA)), together with individual instructions on how to integrate the recommended foods in the daily dietary pattern based on the dietary recall, and also to emphasize that the recommended food should be consumed as listed, and not as part of processed food (i.e., guacamole for avocado, hazelnut chocolate for nuts, pesto for olive oil, fish sticks for fatty fish). Extra-virgin olive oil or canola oil or nuts will be considered first choice for daily consumption of UFA-rich food, but a list of daily food substitutes will be also provided .
