Ketone bodies, especially 3-hydroxybutyrate (3-OHB), have shown potential to increase cardiac output (CO) and reduce PVR in pulmonary hypertension, suggesting possible benefits in PE. We hypothesized that 3-OHB would induce pulmonary vasorelaxation and increase CO in a porcine model of acute PE.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      We conducted a randomized, controlled, assessor-blinded study in a porcine model of acute PE. Acute PE was induced, followed by a 3-h infusion of 3-OHB (0.22\u00a0g\/kg\/h,\n                      <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u20098) or control (isovolumic saline of equimolar tonicity) (\n                      <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u20098). Hemodynamic parameters were monitored hourly including right heart catheterization and RV pressure\u2013volume loop acquisition. Primary outcome was the difference in CO during 3 h.
