Brown Bag Lunch: Syed Imran Ahmed – Virtual intervention focused on unsaturated fatty acid supplementation and sleep to improve quality of life in patients with heart failure with non-reduced ejection fraction: a pilot feasibility study

Please join us for our next Brown Bag Lunch happening Monday, May 11, from 12:30-1:30 PM in the Collaboratorium (IRIC 352).

In this final Brown Bag Lunch and Sketch Your Proposal of the spring semester, Syed Imran Ahmed with support from Dr. Nicholas Coombs will present: Virtual intervention focused on unsaturated fatty acid supplementation and sleep to improve quality of life in patients with heart failure with non-reduced ejection fraction: pilot feasibility study.

This project aims to evaluate the feasibility of a novel, multi-component virtual intervention combining unsaturated fatty acid supplementation and sleep coaching to improve quality of life in patients with heart failure with non-reduced ejection fraction. We will conduct a 4-week randomized controlled pilot study with 30 participants, comparing the intervention to standard rehabilitation care. Outcomes will include quality of life, sleep patterns, and behavioral measures assessed through validated questionnaires and actigraphy. This study is particularly focused on addressing healthcare access challenges in rural populations and will generate preliminary data to support a larger, NIH-funded trial in the future.

As always, the goal is a lightning-fast presentation so the audience can help get ideas on the board, and help sketch a proposal in real-time.

We are very excited to close out the spring semester brown bag lunches with Syed Imran Ahmed and Nicholas Coombs. We look forward to seeing you there!
