SUMMIT: Tirzepatide a ‘Huge Win’ for HFpEF Patients With Obesity HF specialists agree these drugs will be key tools in fighting the obesity-related HFpEF epidemic. Hurdles and questions remain.

Nice coverage of SUMMIT @tctmd.bsky.social

Well-executed trial; large benefit w tirzepatide in HFpEF + obesity

Note sample size modest (731) & modest number of events (92)

Within SUMMIT, 175 underwent cardiac MRI with 106 having sufficient image quality. Among these, tirzepatide v placebo led to decreased LV mass & paracardiac adipose tissue.
