Summary Epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) is a fat depot covering the heart. No physical barrier separates EAT from myocardium, so can easily affect underlying cardiac muscle. participate in development and progression of heart failure with preserved (HFpEF) reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF). In healthy humans, excess associated impaired function worse outcomes. HFpEF, this trend continues: amount usually increased, correlates function/outcomes. However, HFrEF, opposite true: Surprisingly, although has beneficial effects on function, it aggravates ventricular arrhythmias. Here, we dissect these phenomena, trying to explain paradoxical findings find target for novel therapies aimed at rather than myocardium itself. success approach depends thorough understanding interactions between myocardium.

BackgroundObesity increases the risk of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction. Tirzepatide, a long-acting agonist glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide and glucagon-like peptide-1 receptors, causes considerable weight loss, but data are lacking respect to its effects on cardiovascular outcomes.MethodsIn this international, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled trial, we randomly assigned, in 1:1 ratio, 731 patients failure, an fraction at least 50%, body-mass index (the kilograms divided by square height meters) 30 receive tirzepatide (up 15 mg subcutaneously once per week) or placebo for 52 weeks.

Different multifactorial pathophysiological processes are involved in the development of heart failure (HF), including neurohormonal dysfunction, hypertrophy cardiomyocytes, interstitial fibrosis, microvascular endothelial inflammation, pro-thrombotic states, oxidative stress, decreased nitric oxide (NO) bioavailability, energetic epicardial coronary artery lesions, rarefaction and, finally, cardiac remodeling. While different pharmacological strategies have shown significant cardiovascular benefits HF with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF), there is a residual unmet need to fill gap terms knowledge mechanisms and efficacy outcomes agents preserved (HFpEF). Recently, type-2 sodium–glucose transporter inhibitors (SGLT2i) been contribute reduction composite outcome hospitalizations mortality across entire spectrum fraction. Moreover, glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP1-RA) demonstrated patients high risk, excess body weight or obesity HF, particular HFpEF.

The history of anti-obesity pharmacotherapies is marked by disappointments, often entangled with societal pressure promoting weight loss and the conviction that excess body signifies a lack willpower. However, categories emerging generate hope to reduce obesity rates. This systematic review phase 2 3 trials in adults overweight/obesity investigates effect novel pharmacotherapies, compared placebo/control or Food Drug Administration-approved medication, through searching Medline, Embase, ClinicalTrials.gov (2012-2024). We identified 53 trials, 36 drugs combinations thereof four withdrawn terminated trials. Oral semaglutide 50 mg only medication has completed trial.

Abstract Objective We recently demonstrated that treatment with sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT-2i) leads to an increase in myocardial flow reserve patients type 2 diabetes (T2D) stable coronary artery disease (CAD). The mechanism by which this occurs is, however, unclear. One of the risk factors for cardiovascular is inflammation epicardial adipose tissue (EAT). Since latter often increased patients, it could play a role microvascular dysfunction. It also well known SGLT-2i modify metabolism. aimed investigate effects dapagliflozin on metabolism and visceral subcutaneous thickness T2D verify whether these changes explain observed flow. Methods performed single-center, prospective, randomized, double-blind, controlled clinical trial 14 randomized 1:1 (10 mg daily) or placebo.

There was significant 21.6% reduction clamp group compared placebo 0.014). no thickness/metabolism other depots explored. Conclusions SGLT-2 inhibition selectively reduces suggesting inflammation.

Background Despite the widespread use of classical cholesterol-lowering drugs to mitigate adverse impacts dyslipidaemia on atherosclerosis, many patients still face a substantial residual risk developing atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (CVD). This is partially attributed non-traditional pathophysiological pathways. Latest evidence suggests that sodium glucose co-transporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitors are beneficial for suffering from type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) or established CVD by reducing morbidity and mortality. However, underlying mechanisms this benefit have not been clearly elucidated. It has hypothesized one possible mechanism could be attenuation subclinical atherosclerosis (SA) progression.
