Obesity and weight loss in certain heart failure patients
Part of Heart & circulation, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study looks at how higher body weight and weight loss affect people who have heart failure with preserved pumping strength. It uses heart scans to measure how the heart and body change, which may help guide future treatment plans.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have heart failure where the heart pumps with preserved strength (HFpEF)
- Your heart’s pumping measurement is more than 50% (LVEF > 50%)
- Your body mass index (BMI) is about 27.5 or higher
- You can safely have an MRI heart scan (no MRI contraindications)
- You are not pregnant, planning pregnancy, or breastfeeding

This study looks at how obesity and weight loss affect people living with heart failure where the heart pumping strength is reduced. It uses heart imaging (MRI) to measure the heart and may help clarify what weight changes do for symptoms and heart function.
This study looks at how weight-loss surgery affects fat inside the heart and whether changes in that fat are linked to how well the heart relaxes. If you are having bariatric surgery, this study could help doctors understand how losing weight improves heart health.
This study is a registry (a database) that will gather information about people with obesity and a type of heart failure where the heart pumps normally but doesn't fill properly. The goal is to see how well a new class of weight-loss and diabetes drugs (called GLP-1/GIP agonists) might help these patients feel better and exercise more easily.
This study tests whether a new medication called NNC0487-0111 can help people with heart failure who also have obesity. Researchers will compare it to a placebo (inactive pill) to see if it improves heart function and overall health.
This trial tests if weight loss surgery can help people with heart failure and atrial fibrillation (an irregular heartbeat) improve their heart condition. You may join if you are between 45 and 70, have a BMI of 32 to 40, and have mild to moderate heart failure with preserved pumping function.
This study tests whether weight loss treatments can improve muscle and blood vessel function in people with a specific type of heart failure (HFpEF) who also have obesity. It may help if you have heart failure with a normal ejection fraction and a high BMI.
