3-OHB increased CO by reducing afterload. L-3-OHB exerted a stronger hemodynamic response than D-3-OHB due to higher circulating 3-OHB levels. There was a dissocitation between the myocardial metabolism and hemodynamic effects of the enantiomers, highlighting L-3-OHB as a potent cardiovascular agent with strong hemodynamic effects.
