- Eagle’s Eye View: SUMMIT: A Look Into BMI, Adiposity, Tirzepitide and HFpFFIn this week’s View, Dr. Eagle looks at the SUMMIT trial and considers how body mass index (BMI) and central adiposity affect tirzepatide outcomes for heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF).
- What is the Relationship Between Age, Weight Gain and Neuroinflammation in Youths?Values of restricted normalized isotropic (RNI) scaling factor, a brain microstructural marker that may suggest neuroinflammation, were associated with age and BMI among youths with varying weight gain, with a robust association with greater increases in BMI in young girls...
