Heart failure (HF) is associated with a reduction of skeletal muscle mass. Whey protein isolate (WPI) has been beneficial in increasing mass and strength, addition to improving body composition. The goal this research was evaluate the effect WPI on composition, mass, strength chronic HF patients. For purpose, twenty-five patients both genders predominantly NYHA I functional class median age 65.5 (60.5–71.0) years were used conduct randomized, single-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial...
Heart failure (HF) is an important public health problem, considered a new epidemic with high morbidity and mortality. The progression of HF often determines weight reduction, muscle mass loss, reduced physical ability. Whey protein supplementation may increase the effects exercise on strength mass, in addition to promoting improved endothelial function, body composition quality life. However, studies are needed evaluate its benefits patients HF.This double-blind, randomized,...
Endothelial dysfunction is a well-known component of the pathophysiology heart failure (HF), with proven prognostic value. Dietary supplementation whey protein (WP) has been widely used to increase skeletal muscle mass, but it also vascular effects, which are less understood. This study aimed evaluate effects WP on systemic microvascular function HF patients. was blinded, randomized, placebo-controlled clinical trial that evaluated 12-week dietary function, in patients New York Heart...
Background and aims:A healthy diet is one of the pillars familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) treatment.However, best dietary pattern indication for specific supplementation have not been established.Our aim to conduct a pilot study assess effect an adapted cardioprotective with or without phytosterol and/or krill oil supplement in participants probable definitive diagnosis FH, treated moderate/high potency statins.Methods: A national, multicenter, factorial, parallel placebo-controlled...
Background Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) accounted for 27% of deaths in Brazil 2017. Most the recorded caused by CVD would be preventable if patients controlled risk factors including inadequate diet. The Brazilian Cardioprotective Nutritional Program (Dica Br) adapted Mediterranean diet pattern to typical foods and evaluated effectiveness a nutritional program based on cardioprotective cardiovascular events death with diseases.
