Summary

This study uses advanced MRI to measure the type of fat around the heart in people with a common form of heart failure (HFpEF). Researchers want to see if a diabetes drug called semaglutide can change this fat to a healthier profile and improve heart function. About 192 adults will undergo imaging and testing over several months to understand how heart fat relates to disease severity and treatment response.
