Primary Outcome Measures:
  • Dyspnea score [ Time Frame: 30 days ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    scores are given by the patients from 1 to 7 to dyspnea and are reevaluted after 30 days of intervention


Secondary Outcome Measures:
  • Edema score [ Time Frame: 30 days ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    Edema is scored 1 to 7 by a physician and reevaluated 30days later after intervention

  • Systolic function [ Time Frame: 30 days ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    ejection fraction, lateral and septal Sm wave (measured by tissue doppler) are evaluetad by echocardiography before and after intervention.

Detailed Description:

The study is performed to consider the effect of thiamine supplementation versus placebo on symptoms and signs of patients with heart failure systolic and diastolic function of left ventricle.

Heart failure patients (left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF ≤ 40%) are randomized to receive tablets of 300mg or placebo for 1 months in a double-blind fashion. All subjects will be on stable optimal medical therapy according to the present guidelines for at least 3 months before enrolment. At randomization and at study end, echocardiography by a single observer will be performed and assessment of symptoms and signs and quality of life based on self scoring system (from 1 to 7) and objective physical examinations will be done.
