D-Ribose Benefits Low Level Exercise in Advanced Class CHF Patients

D-ribose aids advanced ischemic heart failure patients

“…This reduction is important in reducing afterload of the heart, improving cardiac output and aiding in diastolic relaxation and ventricular filling. Further, we observed an additional benefit with R with an improvement in global cardiac stroke output, VT and autonomic tone, supporting a previous finding by Vijay, et al [7].…”

“…A therapeutic goal is to achieve a reduction in this linear ventilation slope, reflecting improved VE eff . A more inclined or steeper ventilation slope reflects less breathing efficiency and low heart rate variability (HRV), as reported by Vijay, et al [7]. Ventilation efficiency in HF is well correlated with HRV [8].…”
