May support BP management in obesity HFpEF; leaves open LVEF and outcome effects given low-certainty evidence.
, 95% CI 0.94 to 4.86; P = 0.004), a decrease in urine albumin-creatinine ratio (ETD 24 weeks, -25.0%, 95% CI -36 to -13%; P < 0.001; 52 weeks, -15%, 95% CI -28 to 0.1; P = 0.051), a reduction in N-terminal prohormone B-type natriuretic peptide levels (ETD 52 weeks -10.5%, 95% CI -20.7 to 1.0%; P = 0.07) and a reduction in troponin T levels (ETD 52 weeks -10.4%, 95% CI -16.7 to -3.6; P = 0.003). In post hoc exploratory analyses, decreased estimated blood volume with tirzepatide treatment was significantly correlated with decreased blood pressure, reduced microalbuminuria, improved Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire Clinical Summary Score and increased 6-min walk distance. Moreover, decreased C-reactive protein levels were correlated with reduced troponin T levels and improved 6-min walk distance. In conclusion, tirzepatide reduced circulatory volume-pressure overload and systemic inflammation and mitigated cardiovascular-kidney end-organ injury in patients with HFpEF and obesity, providing new insights into the mechanisms of benefit from tirzepatide.

Borlaug et al. (2024) conducted an RCT in Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction and obesity (n=731). Tirzepatide vs. Placebo was evaluated on Change in systolic blood pressure at 52 weeks (ETD -4.7 mmHg, 95% CI -6.8 to -2.5, p=<0.001). Tirzepatide reduced systolic blood pressure by 4.7 mmHg and decreased estimated blood volume and systemic inflammation compared to placebo in patients with obesity-related HFpEF.
