Abstract
- The prevalence of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) has increased in recent decades. In particular, obesity-related HFpEF is a distinct and frequently encountered phenotype; however, its diagnosis is complex. Furthermore, the management of obesity-related HFpEF has not been established despite the introduction of promising drugs. This review summarizes the diagnostic challenges, pathophysiology, and therapeutic options for obesity-related HFpEF.
