Semaglutide and NYHA Functional Class in Obesity-Related Heart Failure With Preserved Ejection Fraction

In the Semaglutide Treatment Effect in People with obesity and HFpEF (STEP-HFpEF) program, semaglutide improved heart failure (HF)-related symptoms, physical limitations, and exercise function, and reduced bodyweight in patients with obesity-related heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). Whether semaglutide improves functional status, as assessed by NYHA functional class, is unknown.
