Abstract

Owing to the overwhelming obesity epidemic, preserved ejection fraction heart failure commonly ensues in patients with severe obesity and the obese phenotype of preserved ejection fraction heart failure is now commonplace in clinical practice. Severe obesity and preserved ejection fraction heart failure share congruent cardiovascular, immune, and renal derangements that make it difficult to ascertain whether the obese phenotype of preserved ejection fraction heart failure is the convergence of two highly prevalent conditions or severe obesity enables the development and progression of the syndrome of preserved ejection fraction heart failure. Nevertheless, the obese phenotype of preserved ejection fraction heart failure provides a unique opportunity to assess whether sustained and sizeable loss of excess body weight via metabolic bariatric surgery reverses the concentric left ventricular remodeling that patients with preserved ejection fraction heart failure commonly display.
