Abstract
Background
Obesity is a known risk factor for heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) and is considered a distinct phenotype with more concentric remodeling. Epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) is also increased in obesity-related HFpEF and is associated with adverse events.
Objectives
The cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) substudy of the SUMMIT trial aimed to examine the effects of tirzepatide on cardiac structure and function with the underlying hypothesis that it would reduce left ventricular (LV) mass and EAT in obesity-related HFpEF.
Methods
A total of 175 patients with obesity-related HFpEF from the parent study of tirzepatide (2.5 mg subcutaneously weekly, increasing to a maximum of 15 mg weekly) or matching placebo underwent CMR at baseline, which consisted of multiplanar cine imaging. A total of 106 patients completed the CMR and had adequate image quality for analysis of LV and left atrial structure and function and paracardiac (epicardial plus pericardial) adipose tissue at both baseline and 52 weeks. The prespecified primary endpoint of this substudy was between-group changes in LV mass.
Results
LV mass decreased by 11 g (95% CI: −19 to −4 g) in the treated group (n = 50) when corrected for placebo (n = 56) (P = 0.004). Paracardiac adipose tissue decreased in the treated group by 45 mL (95% CI: −69 to −22 mL) when corrected for placebo (P < 0.001). The change in LV mass in the treated group correlated with changes in body weight (P < 0.02) and tended to correlate with changes in waist circumference and blood pressure (P = 0.06 for both). The LV mass change also correlated with changes in LV end-diastolic volume and left atrial end-diastolic and end-systolic volumes (P < 0.03 for all).
Conclusions
The CMR substudy of the SUMMIT trial demonstrated that tirzepatide therapy in obesity-related HFpEF led to reduced LV mass and paracardiac adipose tissue as compared with placebo, and the change in LV mass paralleled weight loss. These physiologic changes may contribute to the reduction in heart failure events seen in the main SUMMIT trial.
