Abstract
Patients with obesity-driven heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) often suffer from symptoms despite guideline-recommended treatment with diuretics, sodium glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibition, and mineralocorticoid antagonists. Obesity by itself drives heart failure via multiple pathophysiological mechanisms. This review summarizes current data on glucagon-like peptide‑1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists and the dual GIP/GLP‑1 agonist tirzepatide, including symptoms and outcomes in patients with obesity-driven HFpEF with or without diabetes.
