Episode Synopsis

In this podcast, Dr. Valentin Fuster discusses a study published in the JACC examining the impact of obesity, insulin resistance, and diabetes on patients with heart failure and preserved ejection fraction. The findings suggest that while obesity is closely linked to heart abnormalities, insulin resistance and diabetes have a less direct impact, urging further research into cardiometabolic therapies and the role of body fat in managing heart failure.
