Early Renal Denervation Attenuates Cardiac Dysfunction in Heart Failure With Preserved Ejection Fraction

Journal of the American Heart Association

BackgroundThe renal sympathetic nervous system modulates systemic blood pressure, cardiac performance, and renal function. Pathological increases in renal sympathetic nerve activity contribute to the pathogenesis of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF).We

5 Most-Cited Takeaways From the 19th Annual Cardiometabolic Health Congress (CMHC) 

Cardiometabolic Health Congress

42% of adults are considered obese , increasing their risk of diabetes, hypertension, and cardiovascular issues. Key Takeaways: Natriuretic Peptides : Useful for diagnosing and monitoring heart failure, particularly HFrEF, but challenging to interpret in patients with obesity due to peptide deficiency. In the U.S.,

What Cardiometabolic Clinicians Can Be Thankful For This Year

Cardiometabolic Health Congress

Heart Failure Management : The FINEARTS-HF trial focused on the efficacy of finerenone, an aldosterone antagonist, in reducing heart failure hospitalizations and cardiovascular mortality among patients with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). Eckel, MD, FAHA, FACC at the 19th Annual CMHC.

Obesity-Related Biomarkers Are Associated With Exercise Intolerance and HFpEF

Circulation: Heart Failure

BACKGROUND:Obesity and adiposity are associated with an increased risk of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF); yet, specific underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Fasting blood samples collected at the time of the cardiopulmonary exercise test were used to assay obesity-related biomarkers.

Expert Perspective: The Obesity Paradox with Salvatore Carbone, PhD

Cardiometabolic Health Congress

Can you please explain the concept of an obesity paradox? Salvatore Carbone, PhD: First, I’d like to point out that obesity is a major risk factor for cardiometabolic disease. 2, 3] This association is more pronounced for those with class I obesity, which is a body mass index (BMI) between 30-35 kg/m2.
