Résumé

Heart Failure with Preserved Ejection Fraction (HFpEF) represents a significant challenge in modern cardiovascular medicine, characterized by diastolic dysfunction and a chronic pro-inflammatory milieu. The high prevalence of comorbidities such as diabetes, visceral obesity, and aging, which contribute to systemic inflammation, plays a pivotal role in the pathogenesis and progression of HFpEF. Glucagon-Like Peptide-1 Receptor Agonists (GLP-1 RAs), a class of glucose-lowering drugs, have demonstrated a wide range of pleiotropic effects that extend beyond glycaemic control. These effects include the reduction of inflammation and oxidative stress, vasodilation, decreased arterial stiffness, and a reduction in myocardial fibrosis-key factors in the pathophysiology of HFpEF. Recent evidence from the STEP-HFpEF and STEP-HFpEF-DM trials provides the first robust data supporting the efficacy of GLP-1 RAs, specifically semaglutide, in improving the quality of life in obese patients with HFpEF. These trials also demonstrated a significant reduction in C-Reactive Protein (CRP) levels, reinforcing the hypothesis that suppressing the pro-inflammatory state may yield substantial clinical benefits in this patient population. These findings suggest that GLP-1 RAs could play a crucial role in the management of HFpEF, particularly in patients with obesity, by targeting the underlying inflammatory processes and contributing to better overall cardiovascular outcomes.
