Role for GLP-1 Agonists in Patients with Obesity and Heart Failure with Preserved Ejection Fraction

Kevan English, Christine Uwibambe.


Abstract
Obesity is a well-known risk factor for heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). Through recent clinical trials, glucagon-like peptide-1 and glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) receptor agonists have been shown to decrease mortality and improve symptoms in patients with obesity and HFpEF. Based on the new existing data, we suggest a change in clinical practice for physicians globally. Evidence now supports the initiation of GLP-1/GIP agonists in patients with obesity and HFpEF. This short communication reviews some of the most recent data on GLP-1/GIP agonists that support their clinical indications for patients with obesity and heart failure.

Key words: Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction; Obesity; Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists; Systemic inflammation; Glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide
