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

European Journal of Heart Failure

Increasing severity of obesity is associated with multiple characteristics that may contribute to the development or worsening of heart failure (HF) with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). Echocardiography demonstrated increased CO with obesity, but not estimated right atrial (RA) pressure or E/e′. of patients had BMI ≥30 kg/m 2.

Evidence-Based Application of Natriuretic Peptides in the Evaluation of Chronic Heart Failure With Preserved Ejection Fraction in the Ambulatory Outpatient Setting

Circulation

Optimal NT-proBNP cut points for HFpEF rule out (optimizing sensitivity) and rule in (optimizing specificity) were derived and tested, stratified by obesity and atrial fibrillation. Current consensus age- and BMI-stratified rule-in thresholds demonstrated only 65% specificity (95% CI, 57%72%).
