Heart failure is a chronic condition that affects the heart's ability to pump blood effectively. It is a leading cause of death and hospitalization in adults, and it is estimated that over 6 million Americans have heart failure. There are two main types of heart failure: heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) and heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) . HFrEF is the more common type of heart failure, and it is characterized by a weakened heart muscle that cannot pump blood as efficiently as it should. HFpEF is a more complex type of heart failure, and it is characterized by a normal ejection fraction, which is the percentage of blood that is pumped out of the heart with each beat. Obesity is a major risk factor for both HFrEF and HFpEF. In fact, obesity is the most common underlying cause of HFpEF. Losing weight can help to improve heart function and reduce the risk of heart failure in obese patients. A new weight loss drug called semaglutide (brand
