Conditions

Obesity and Heart Failure with reduced Ejection Fracition

Brief summary

The primary endpoint is change in peak oxygen uptake per kg per min (Vo2max) at 52 weeks between groups.

Detailed description

• To compare the effect of weight loss on quality of life assessed by the Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire (KCCQ). • To compare the effect of weight loss on the 6MWD • To compare the effect of weight loss on the end-systolic volume assessed by Cardiac MR • To compare the effect of weight loss on the change in biomarkers as high-sensitivity CRP and pro-BNP • Feasibility and safety of a modern weight loss program for weight lowering in high-risk symptomatic patients.
