Abstract in brief

  • This study aims to evaluate whether whey protein supplementation combined with supervised exercise can help preserve muscle mass and strength in patients with heart failure over a 12-week period.
  • It is a double-blind randomized controlled trial, with participants assigned to receive either whey protein or a placebo, and outcomes such as muscle preservation, microvascular reactivity, quality of life, and inflammation will be assessed.
  • Given that heart failure often leads to muscle loss and reduced physical ability, the study seeks to provide evidence for new dietary strategies to improve patient outcomes and quality of life.
