Abstract
The mitochondrial dysfunction characteristic of heart failure (HF) is associated with changes in intracellular nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) and NADH levels. Raising NAD+ levels with the NAD+ precursor, nicotinamide riboside (NR), may represent a novel HF treatment. In this 30-participant trial of patients with clinically stable HF with reduced ejection fraction, NR, at a dose of 1,000 mg twice daily, appeared to be safe and well tolerated, and approximately doubled whole blood NAD+ levels. Intraindividual NAD+ increases in response to NR correlated with increases in peripheral blood mononuclear cell basal (R 2 = 0.413, P = 0.003) and maximal (R 2 = 0.434, P = 0.002) respiration, and with decreased NLRP3 expression (R 2 = 0.330, P = 0.020). (Nicotinamide Riboside in Systolic Heart Failure; NCT03423342).
