Scientific titleMetabolic changes induced by perhexiline versus placebo on myocardial metabolism in chronic heart failure: a multicentre randomised interventional treatment trial
Study objectivesWe wish to ivestigate the metabolic changes induced by perhexiline on myocardial metabolism in chronic heart failure. Perhexiline has been shown to improve exercise capacity in this group of patients. Perhexiline is thought to work by increasing carbohydrate metabolism and reducing fatty acid metabolism leading to improved metabolic efficiency. We plan to investigate myocardial metabolism both invasively and non-invasively to demonstate these changes.
Ethics approval(s)South Birmingham REC approved on the 12th May 2006 (ref: 06/Q2707/7)
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studiedTopic: Cardiovascular; Subtopic: Cardiovascular (all Subtopics); Disease: Cardiovascular
InterventionPerhexiline/Placebo 100 mg orally twice daily (bd) randomised in a 50:50 fashion with drug dose titration in accordance with serum levels.

Total duration of follow-up: one month
Intervention typeOther
