Obesity and heart failure with preserved ejection fraction: new insights and pathophysiological targets

Barry A. Borlaug, Michael D. Jensen, Dalane W. Kitzman, Carolyn S. P. Lam, Masaru Obokata, Oliver J. Rider

Summary: Obesity and heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) are two intertwining epidemics, and obesity may have widespread effects on the cardiovascular system, leading to symptomatic HFpEF. Understanding the pathophysiological mechanisms of obese HFpEF is crucial for developing new therapeutic approaches.

Patient Characteristics, Outcomes, and Effects of Dapagliflozin According to the Duration of Heart Failure: A Prespecified Analysis of the DELIVER Trial

Jhund, Mikhail N. Kosiborod, Carolyn S. P. Lam, Anna Maria Langkilde, Felipe A. Martinez, Magnus Petersson, Pham Nguyen Vinh, Muthiah Vaduganathan, Scott D. Solomon, John J. V. McMurray

Summary: This study investigated how patient characteristics and outcomes vary according to the duration of heart failure, and compared the efficacy and safety of dapagliflozin in different stages of heart failure. The results showed that patients with longer-duration heart failure were older, had more comorbidities, and experienced worse symptoms. Dapagliflozin had consistent benefits across different stages of heart failure.

Predicting Stroke in Heart Failure and Preserved Ejection Fraction Without Atrial Fibrillation

Redfield, Jean L. Rouleau, Dirk J. van Veldhuisen, Faiez Zannad, Michael R. Zile, Scott D. Solomon, John J. V. McMurray

Summary: This study validated a simple risk model for predicting stroke risk in heart failure patients with preserved ejection fraction but without atrial fibrillation. The results showed that the risk for stroke increased with increasing risk score, suggesting the use of anticoagulation therapy in high-risk patients.

Shah, Wilfred Mullens, Michael R. Zile, Carolyn S. P. Lam, Marc A. Pfeffer, John J. V. McMurray, Scott D. Solomon, PARAGON HF Investigators

Summary: This study aimed to evaluate the clinical implications of right ventricular function and its association with NT-proBNP, as well as its risk for adverse events in patients with HFpEF. The results demonstrated that worsening RV function and its ratio to pulmonary pressure were significantly associated with an increased risk of HF hospitalizations and cardiovascular death in these patients.

Pang, Jelena Celutkiene, Gad Cotter, Alexandre Mebazaa, Beth Davison

Summary: This study demonstrates that a strategy of rapid uptitration of oral treatment for heart failure and close follow-up, compared with usual care, can significantly improve the prognosis of patients with acute heart failure, regardless of left ventricular ejection fraction. This approach reduces the risk of HF rehospitalization or all-cause death within 180 days after AHF hospitalization, independently of LVEF.

Summary: Aortic stenosis is a common heart valve disease, and the use of artificial intelligence technology can accurately evaluate the severity of the disease, improving the accuracy of diagnosis and treatment.

Ejection Fraction, Biomarkers, and Outcomes and Impact of Vericiguat on Outcomes Across EF in VICTORIA

Hernandez, Christopher M. O'Connor, Adriaan A. Voors, Cynthia M. Westerhout, Carolyn S. P. Lam, Paul W. Armstrong, VICTORIA Study Grp

Summary: This study assessed the association between biomarker levels and outcomes in patients with lower left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), and examined the efficacy of vericiguat across different LVEF tertiles. The results showed that patients with lower LVEF had higher biomarker levels and a higher risk of adverse clinical outcomes. Vericiguat did not show a significant difference in efficacy across LVEF tertiles.

How to Manage Heart Failure With Preserved Ejection Fraction Practical Guidance for Clinicians

Akshay S. Desai, Carolyn S. P. Lam, John J. V. McMurray, Margaret M. Redfield

Summary: Although patients with HFpEF have historically had limited treatment options, the emerging data from recent randomized trials have greatly expanded the range of pharmacologic options. Clinicians are in need of practical guidance for managing this growing population, and this review provides a contemporary framework based on the latest evidence and guidelines. Where data is lacking, the authors provide the best available information from post hoc analyses or observational studies to guide management until more definitive studies are conducted.

Association of Dapagliflozin Use With Clinical Outcomes and the Introduction of Uric Acid-Lowering Therapy and Colchicine in Patients With Heart Failure With and Without Gout A Patient-Level Pooled Meta-analysis of DAPA-HF and DELIVER

Summary: This study found that gout is common in patients with heart failure and sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors can reduce uric acid levels. Gout was associated with worse clinical outcomes, but the efficacy of dapagliflozin was consistent in patients with and without gout. Dapagliflozin also reduced the initiation of new treatments for hyperuricemia and gout.
