Abstract
Breath acetone concentrations after an overnight fast were measured in patients with and without congestive heart failure and in healthy con trol persons. Breath acetone was, on average, 4 times higher than norm al in patients with congestive heart failure, indicating that heart fa ilure is a ketosis-prone state.
