RESUMO

In this report, we present the case of an older adult with severe obesity and multiple comorbidities, including heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF), who experienced a prolonged decline complicated by recurrent hospitalizations and skilled nursing facility stays during the two years preceding death. This case highlights challenges in prognostication attributed to severe obesity complicated by HFpEF, which likely delayed goals of care conversations, and access to palliative care and hospice, despite high symptom burden. We discuss prognostic uncertainty among those with severe obesity and outline potential future directions.
