[FGX 70% as an energy carrier in severe heart failure].
A case of decompensated heart failure due to a combined myocardial malformation is presented, in which intravenous nutrition with restricted fluid intake became necessary. Employing a 70% solution of FGX combined with an amino acid solution following the KE pattern the already catabolic metabolism was reversed and a loss of weight avoided. Over a long-term period of application (three weeks) no side effects due to this solution were noted. The necessity of continuous supervision of the FGX 70% infusion is stressed.
