Insights
Obesity and type 2 diabetes drive heart failure (HF) through distinct chronic disease stages. Understanding these cardiometabolic drivers can reveal new targets for personalized HF prevention and treatment.
Area of Science:
- Cardiology
- Metabolic Diseases
- Chronic Disease Management
Background:
- Heart failure (HF) presents a significant global health challenge with high mortality and morbidity.
- Obesity and type 2 diabetes are key contributors to cardiometabolic-based chronic disease (CMBCD).
- The adiposity-based chronic disease (ABCD) and dysglycemia-based chronic disease (DBCD) models offer frameworks for understanding these drivers.
Purpose of the Study:
- To review the influence of ABCD and DBCD on the development and progression of HF phenotypes.
- To examine the links between ABCD and DBCD stages and cardiac structure, function, HF risk, and outcomes.
- To discuss interventions aimed at mitigating cardiac remodeling and improving outcomes in HF.
Main Methods:
- Literature review focusing on the CMBCD model.
- Analysis of relationships between ABCD/DBCD stages and HF.
- Synthesis of evidence on lifestyle, pharmacological, and procedural interventions.
Main Results:
- ABCD and DBCD significantly impact HF genesis and progression.
- Specific stages of these chronic diseases correlate with cardiac structural and functional changes, HF risk, and outcomes.
- Various interventions show potential for reversing cardiac remodeling and improving HF outcomes.
Conclusions:
- Driver-based chronic disease models highlight critical prevention targets for HF.
- Personalized care plans tailored to the CMBCD model are needed for effective HF management.
- Future research should focus on randomized trials investigating tailored therapies for the CMBCD model to reduce HF susceptibility and enhance outcomes.
Abstract:
Heart failure (HF) is a complex clinical syndrome, associated with high rates of mortality, hospitalization, and impairment of quality of life. Obesity and type 2 diabetes are major cardiometabolic drivers, represented as distinct stages of adiposity- and dysglycemia-based chronic disease (ABCD, DBCD), respectively, and leading to cardiometabolic-based chronic disease (CMBCD). This review focuses on one aspect of the CMBCD model: how ABCD and DBCD influence genesis and progression of HF phenotypes. Specifically, the relationships of ABCD and DBCD stages with structural and functional heart disease, HF risk, and outcomes in overt HF are detailed. Also, evidence-based lifestyle, pharmacological, and procedural interventions that promote or reverse cardiac remodeling and outcomes in individuals at risk or with HF are discussed. In summary, driver-based chronic disease models for individuals at risk or with HF can expose prevention targets for more comprehensive interventions to improve clinical outcomes. Future randomized trials that investigate structured lifestyle, pharmacological, and procedural therapies specifically tailored for the CMBCD model are needed to develop personalized care plans to decrease HF susceptibility and improve outcomes.
