Obesity in heart failure with preserved ejection fraction: Insights from the REDUCE LAP?HF II trial

European Journal of Heart Failure

Patients with increasing obesity have higher right- and left-sided ventricular filling pressures, increased cardiac output (CO), lower 6-min walk distance (6MWD) and worse Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire (KCCQ) scores. of patients had BMI ≥30 kg/m 2. Strain measurements in all four chambers were maintained as BMI increased.
