Obesity, Hypertension, and Risk Factors in Terms of Prevention and Decreasing the Risk of HfpEF

 

Guest: Affan Irfan, M.D., Ph.D.

Host: Stephen L. Kopecky, M.D.

 

HFpEF is a type of heart failure where the heart pumps normally but becomes stiff. This leads to fatigue, shortness of breath, and fluid retention. It is closely linked to obesity, hypertension, and metabolic disorders, with cases rising as these conditions become more common.

 

Topics Discussed:

  • What is HFpEF and its risk factors?
  • How common are obesity and hypertension, and how often do they lead to HFpEF?
  • How do you diagnose HFpEF?
  • How effective are weight loss, diet, and exercise in preventing HFpEF?
  • What medical and public health strategies help reduce these risk factors and HFpEF cases?
