Nurse Practitioner-Led Use of Diabetes Drugs to Treat Obesity-Related Heart Failure with Normal Pump Function: A Clinical Effectiveness Study

Updated

Abstract

Obesity-related heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) is characterized by systemic inflammation and reduced functional capacity.

  • HFpEF is associated with increased systemic inflammation and decreased ability to function physically.
  • Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) have shown potential to improve symptoms and reduce weight in randomized trials.
  • Despite their benefits, the use of GLP-1 RAs in everyday cardiovascular practice remains inconsistent.
