Obesity is a significant predisposing factor for heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). Although a substantial proportion of individuals with HFpEF also have obesity, those with obesity are under-represented in clinical trials for heart failure. In turn, current guidelines provided limited recommendations for the medical management of this patient population. Both obesity and diabetes induce a pro-inflammatory state that can contribute to endothelial dysfunction and coronary microvascular impairment, finally resulting in HFpEF. Additionally, obesity leads to increased epicardial and chest wall adiposity, which enhances ventricular interdependence. This condition is further aggravated by plasma and blood volume expansion and excessive vasoconstriction, ultimately worsening HFpEF. Despite the well-documented benefits of GLP-1 receptor agonists in subjects with diabetes, obesity, or both, their role in obesity-related HFpEF remains unclear. In light of the recently published literature, this review aims to investigate the potential mechanisms and synthesize the available clinical evidence regarding the role of GLP-1 receptor agonists in patients with obesity-related HFpEF. |
