Background and aims The independent role of body fat distribution and fat-free mass in heart failure (HF) risk is unclear. Overall, HF risk was more strongly associated with central adiposity (waist circumference (WC) adjusted for body mass index (BMI); HR 1.38, 95% CI 1.32 years, 44% male) from the UK Biobank. to 2.07).

What is the incremental benefit in patients with heart failure and preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) of glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RA) combined with sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and body mass index (BMI) ≥27?
