Metabolic Accelerator for Obesity-Related HFpEF

JAMA Cardiology

This randomized clinical trial evaluates if HU6, a controlled metabolic accelerator, reduces body weight, improves body composition, and increases exercise capacity in patients with obesity-related heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF).

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′.

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. In our study, NT-proBNP provided little value in those with AF and dyspnea because the presence of AF is by itself a robust biomarker of HFpEF.

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).

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
