Abstract

In the STEP-HFpEF trial, 2.4 mg semaglutide produced marked improvements in heart failure-related symptoms, physical limitations, and exercise function, and reduced inflammation and body weight in individuals with obesity HFpEF phenotype. These data usher in a new paradigm of targeting obesity as a therapeutic strategy in HFpEF.
