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′.

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. We defined HFpEF based on the presence of elevated left ventricular filling pressures at rest or during exercise. P<0.001).

Effects of Semaglutide on Symptoms, Function, and Quality of Life in Patients with Heart Failure with Preserved Ejection Fraction and Obesity: A Prespecified Analysis of the STEP-HFpEF Trial

Circulation

Background:Patients with heart failure (HF) with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) and obesity experience high burden of symptoms and functional impairment, and a poor quality of life. mg improved symptoms, physical limitations and exercise function, and reduced inflammation and body weight.

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.

Abstract 4139791: A short version of HFD/L-NAME mouse model enabling time-effective proof of concept studies to evaluate drugs targeting the cardiometabolic and mild hypertension associated HFpEF phenotype.

Circulation

Intro:Drug Development for Heart failure with Preserved Ejection Fraction (HFpEF) is a major challenge facing cardiovascular research due to its complex pathophysiology and existence of comorbidities, leading to recognize distinct HFpEF phenogroups. HFD/L-NAME mice showed altered exercise capacity (p<0.05
