Natriuretic peptides are key biomarkers used to risk-stratify patients with heart failure (HF), but current guideline thresholds do not typically account for body mass index (BMI).¹ A new pooled analysis suggests that these fixed thresholds may underestimate risk in patients with HF and higher BMI, questioning the one-size-fits-all approach.²This study was a participant-level pooled analysis of…

A secondary analysis of the SUMMIT trial has found that the benefits of tirzepatide on reducing the risk of cardiovascular death or worsening heart failure (HF) are consistent across all levels of obesity in patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF).¹ However, patients with a higher baseline body mass index (BMI) experienced greater improvements in exercise capacity and…

THT Conference 2025 - Outcomes assessing the effect of obesity severity on tirzepatide in patients with obesity-related heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) show that patients on tirzepatide with a greater reduction in BMI and baseline waist-to-height ratio had greater improvements in exercise capacity and KCCQ quality of life scores.Dr Barry Borlaug (Mayo Clinic and Foundation,…

ESC HF 25 - Safety outcomes from PRAISE-HFrEF show that glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonism (GLP-1 RA) treatment for heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) and obesity was not associated with increased risk of heart failure hospitalisation or mortality compared to placebo, with greater benefits observed in patients with higher BMI.Dr Varun Sundaram (Case Western Reserve…

ECO 2024 — Prof Barbara McGowan (Guy's and St Thomas' Hospital & King's College, UK) joins us to discuss the findings from the STEP 10 trial (NCT05040971, Novo Nordisk).This Phase 3 randomised clinical trial investigated the efficacy and safety of subcutaneous semaglutide 2.4 mg (GLP-1 RA) in 181 participants with obesity (BMI greater than or equal to 30.0 kg/m^2) and prediabetes. The primary…
