Association between epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) and cardiac dysfunction in severe obesity. BMI, body mass index; GLS, global longitudinal strain; LASct, left atrial contractile strain. Abstract Aim Epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) plays a role in obesity-related heart failure with preserved ejection fraction.

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.

Bayers FINEARTS-HF study revealed that finerenone could be poised to become the next big heart failure treatment at ESC 2024, and a new series of JACC sub-studies just further strengthened its case. Finerenone (Bayers Kerendia) got its start with CKD, and is the first mineralocorticoid receptor antagonist to be used for HF.

Notably, MAG showed superior survival for patients with a BMI less than 40, whereas patients with a BMI of 40 or higher had superior survival with SAG. Survival outcomes were equivalent between MAG and SAG for patients aged 80 years or older, and those with severe heart failure , renal failure, peripheral vascular disease, or obesity.

Objective While greater body mass index (BMI) is associated with increased risk of developing atrial fibrillation (AF), the impact of BMI on outcomes in newly diagnosed AF is unclear. The study population comprised 40 482 participants: 703 underweight (BMI <18.5 kg/m 2 ), 13 095 normal (BMI=18.5–24.9

For adults with overweight and obesity, resistance exercise increases lean body mass and reduces body fat percentage and fat mass — improving overall body composition. Of course, these benefits can also extend to individuals with a BMI in the normal range.

Abstract Aims Understanding the global burden of disease attributable to high body mass index (BMI) is essential for informing public health strategies and interventions to mitigate the impact of obesity-related conditions. Globally in 2021, the deaths and DALYs attributable to high BMI have risen 2.54-fold fold and 2.68-fold
