RESUMO
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: In this narrative review, we discuss the current evidence related to the role of dietary interventions to prevent and treat type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and cardiovascular disease (CVD). We also propose alternative therapeutic strategies other than weight loss in this population, namely, improvements in cardiorespiratory fitness and its determinants. RECENT FINDINGS: While weight loss has been consistently associated with the prevention of T2DM and improvements in glycemic control in those with established diseases, its role in preventing and treating CVD is less clear. In fact, in this setting, improvements in diet quality have provided greater benefits, suggesting that this might represent an alternative, or an even more effective strategy than energy-restriction. Improvements in diet quality, with and without caloric restriction have been shown to improve CVD risk and to prevent the development of T2DM in individuals at risk; however, with regard to glycemic control in patients with T2DM, any dietary intervention resulting in significant weight loss may produce clinically meaningful benefits. Finally, dietary interventions with and without energy restriction that can improve cardiorespiratory fitness, even in absence of weight loss in patients with obesity, should be encouraged.

Continuous energy restriction is currently considered the first-line dietary therapy for weight loss in individuals with obesity. Recently, interventions which alter the eating window and time of eating occasions have been explored as means to achieve weight loss and other cardiometabolic improvements such as a reduction in blood pressure, glycaemia, lipids and inflammation. It is unknown, however, whether these changes result from unintentional energy restriction or from other mechanisms such as the alignment of nutrient intake with the internal circadian clock. Even less is known regarding the safety and efficacy of these interventions in individuals with established chronic noncommunicable disease states, such as cardiovascular disease. This review examines the effects of interventions which alter both eating window and time of eating occasions on weight and other cardiometabolic risk factors in both healthy participants and those with established cardiovascular disease. We then summarise the state of existing knowledge and explore future directions of study.

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Promising associations have been demonstrated between delayed last eating occasion and cardiorespiratory fitness in adults with heart failure (HF), however, it is unknown if time of eating is associated with clinical endpoints such as mortality. This study aimed to examine associations between time of eating variables and all-cause and cardiovascular mortality in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES). METHODS AND RESULTS: Participants self-disclosed HF diagnosis. Two dietary recalls were obtained and categorical variables were created based on mean time of first eating occasion (8:31 AM), last eating occasion (7:33 PM) and eating window (11.02 h). Mortality was obtained through linkage to the National Death Index. Covariate-adjusted Cox proportional hazard regression models were created examining the association between time of eating and mortality. Participants (n = 991) were 68 (95 % CI 67-69) years of age, 52.6 (95 % CI 49.0-56.3)% men and had a body mass index of 32.5 (95 % CI 31.8-33.2) kg/m2 with follow up time of 68.9 (95 % CI 64.8-72.9) person-months. When models were adjusted for time of eating variables and all other covariates, extending the eating window beyond 11.02 h was associated with decreased risk of cardiovascular (HR 0.36 [95 % CI 0.16-0.81]), but not all-cause mortality. Time of first and last eating occasions were not associated with mortality. CONCLUSIONS: In adults with HF, an extended eating window is associated with reduced risk for cardiovascular mortality. Randomized controlled trials should examine if extending the eating window can improve prognostic indicators such as cardiorespiratory fitness in this population.

OBJECTIVES: Cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) is influenced by body composition quantity and quality in heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) and obesity. Bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) provides a noninvasive quantitative and qualitative body composition assessment. The aim of this study was to determine the role of phase angle (PhA), a BIA-measure of skeletal muscle quality and body cell mass, on CRF in patients with obesity and HFpEF. METHODS: Fifty-nine consecutive outpatients with HFpEF underwent cardiopulmonary exercise testing to measure CRF. Single-frequency segmental BIA was used to measure PhA and body composition quantity. Resting Doppler echocardiography and biomarkers were measured to assess cardiac function and systemic inflammation. RESULTS: Compared with patients with lower PhA, patients with higher PhA (above mean 5.8°) presented a greater absolute peak oxygen consumption (VO2; 1.83 [1.3-2.1] versus 1.39 [1.1-1.6] L/min, P = 0.003), VO2 peak adjusted for body weight (17.5 [12.3-18.1] versus 13.3 [12.7-15.2] mL/kg/min, P = 0.040), and a lower edema index (48.7 [2.9] versus 51.4% [2.7], P < 0.001) and N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP; 64 [50-121] versus 183 [68-343.5] pg/dL, P < 0.001). In the overall sample, PhA was correlated with absolute VO2 peak (r = 0.468, P < 0.001), VO2 peak adjusted for body weight (r = 0.368, P = 0.004), VO2 peak adjusted for fat-free mass (r = 0.315, P = 0.015), edema index (r = -0.508, P < 0.001), and NT-proBNP (r = -0.579, P < 0.001). PhA remained a significant predictor for CRF even after adjustment for potential confounders and HFpEF severity. CONCLUSION: In patients with obesity and HFpEF, a greater PhA is an independent predictor for favorable CRF.

BACKGROUND: Interleukin-1 blockade with anakinra leads to a transient increase in eosinophil blood count (eosinophils) in patients with acute myocardial infarction. We aimed to investigate the effect of anakinra on changes in eosinophils in patients with heart failure (HF) and their correlation with cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF). METHODS: We measured eosinophils in 64 patients with HF (50% females), 55 (51-63) years of age, before and after treatment, and, in a subset of 41 patients, also after treatment cessation. We also evaluated CRF, measuring peak oxygen consumption (VO2) with a treadmill test. RESULTS: Treatment with anakinra significantly and transiently increased eosinophils, from 0.2 [0.1-0.3] to 0.3 [0.1-0.4] × 103 cells/µL (p < 0.001) and from 0.3 [0.2-0.5] to 0.2 [0.1-0.3] × 103 cells/µL, with suspension (p < 0.001). Changes in eosinophils correlated with the changes in peak VO2 (Spearman's Rho = +0.228, p = 0.020). Eosinophils were higher in patients with injection site reactions (ISR) (n = 8, 13%; 0.5 [0.4-0.6] vs. 0.2 [0.1-0.4] × 103 cells/µL, p = 0.023), who also showed a greater increase in peak VO2 (3.0 [0.9-4.3] vs. 0.3 [-0.6-1.8] mLO2·kg-1·min-1, p = 0.015). CONCLUSION: Patients with HF treated with anakinra experience a transient increase in eosinophils, which is associated with ISR and a greater improvement in peak VO2.

Patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) suffer from a high rate of cardiometabolic comorbidities with limited pharmaceutical therapies proven to improve clinical outcomes and cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF). Nonpharmacologic therapies, such as exercise training and dietary interventions, are promising strategies for this population. The aim of this narrative review is to present a summary of the literature published to date and future directions related to the efficacy of nonpharmacologic, lifestyle-related therapies in HFpEF, with a focus on exercise training and dietary interventions.

BACKGROUND: Sarcopenia impairs cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) in patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF). Obesity has also been shown to impair CRF; however, the effects of sarcopenia on CRF in patients with obesity and HFrEF are unknown. The aim of this analysis was to examine differences in CRF between patients with sarcopenic obesity (SO) and non-SO (NSO) with HFrEF. We also assessed associations between skeletal muscle mass index (SMMI) and CRF. METHODS: Forty patients with HFrEF and obesity underwent cardiopulmonary exercise testing to collect measures of CRF including peak oxygen consumption (VO2), circulatory power, oxygen uptake efficiency slope, O2 pulse, and exercise time. Body composition was performed in all patients using bioelectrical impedance analysis to quantify fat mass index and divide patients into SO and NSO based on SMMI cutoffs. Results are presented as mean (SD) or median [interquartile range] as appropriate. RESULTS: Nearly half (43% [n=17]) of patients had SO. Patients with SO had a lower SMMI than those with NSO, and no differences in fat mass index were observed between groups. Those with SO achieved a lower absolute peak VO2 (NSO, 1.62±0.53 L·min-1 versus SO, 1.27±0.44 L·min-1, P=0.035), oxygen uptake efficiency slope (NSO, 1.92±0.59 versus SO, 1.54±0.48, P=0.036), and exercise time (NSO, 549±198 seconds versus SO, 413±140 seconds, P=0.021) compared to those with NSO. On multivariate analysis, SMMI remained a significant predictor of absolute peak VO2 when adjusted for age, sex, adiposity, and HF severity. CONCLUSIONS: In patients with HFrEF and obesity, sarcopenia, defined as low SMMI, is associated with a clinically significant reduction in CRF, independent of adiposity.

A sedentary lifestyle is prevalent among patients with heart failure (HF) and is associated with poor prognosis and survival, possibly owing to the displacement of health-enhancing behaviors, such as physical activity (PA). However, there is limited evidence examining the displacement effects of reducing duration of sedentary time (ST) on clinical outcomes in patients with HF. The current study examined the theoretical effects of relocating ST with PA on all-cause and cardiovascular disease (CVD)-specific mortality risks in patients with HF. We analyzed 265 patients with HF who participated in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey from 2003 to 2006. Cox proportional hazards regression model was fitted to estimate mortality risks based on objectively measured ST well as time spent in light-intensity PA (LPA) and moderate- and vigorous-intensity PA (MVPA). The theoretical changes in the hazard ratio (HR) by replacing ST with LPA or MVPA were examined using isotemporal substitutional modeling. On average, patients with HF spent 70% of waking hours per day in ST (9.01 hours), followed by LPA (29%; 3.75 hours) and MVPA (1%; 0.13 hours). Ten-minute substitution of ST with LPA was associated with significantly lower all-cause and CVD-specific mortality risks (hazard ratio [HR]=0.93 for both). The mortality risks progressively decreased as more ST was relocated to LPA. The relocation effects of ST with MVPA were not statistically significant, possibly because of limited MVPA accrued in this clinical population. The current study provides empirical evidence about the potential health benefits of replacing a modest amount of ST with LPA among patients with HF.

BACKGROUND: Delayed time of evening meal is associated with favorable cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) in patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) and obesity. It is unknown, however, if increasing daily non-fasting time or delaying the midpoint of energy intake may also be associated with CRF. OBJECTIVE: Our aim was to examine whether a longer non-fasting time, delayed midpoint of energy intake, or both, are associated with greater CRF in patients with HFpEF and obesity. METHODS: We measured peak oxygen consumption (VO2), a measure of CRF, in 32 patients with HFpEF and obesity with cardiopulmonary exercise testing, and dietary intake using a five-pass 24-h dietary recall. Participants were divided into groups by having lesser (<11.6) or greater (≥11.6) periods of non-fasting time than the median and similarly, with earlier (<2:15 PM) or later (≥2:15 PM) than median midpoint of energy intake. RESULTS: Median non-fasting time was 11.6 [10.6-12.9] hours and midpoint of energy intake was 2:15 [1:04-3:00] PM. There were no differences in CRF between those with a shorter (<11.6) or longer (≥11.6) non-fasting time. Participants with a delayed midpoint of energy intake (≥2:15 PM) had greater peak VO2 and exercise time. Midpoint of energy intake (r = 0.444, P = 0.011) and time of last meal (r = 0.550, P = 0.001) displayed a positive association with peak VO2, but not non-fasting time nor time of first meal. CONCLUSIONS: Delaying the midpoint of energy intake by postponing last meal is associated with better peak VO2 and exercise time in patients with HFpEF and obesity.

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Our objective was to examine the impact of caloric intake before or after the mean time of evening meal on cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) in patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) and obesity. METHODS AND RESULTS: Twelve patients with HFpEF and obesity completed a cardiorespiratory exercise test to measure CRF, defined as peak oxygen consumption (VO2). Three five-pass 24-h dietary recalls were performed for each participant and mean evening meal time was determined for each participant individually as well as the group. Participants were divided into those who ate before (Group I) and after (Group II) the mean time of evening meal, 7:25 PM. Peak VO2 and exercise time were significantly greater in Group II compared to Group I, moreover, delaying time of evening meal was associated with greater peak VO2. CONCLUSION: Caloric intake after the mean time of evening meal was associated with better CRF in patients with HFpEF and concomitant obesity. Later nutrient intake may help prevent fasting related stress associated with cardiac metabolic disturbances present in HFpEF. Based on these findings, prospective trials aimed at examining the effects of later evening meal times in patients with HFpEF and obesity are warranted.

ABSTRACT: The sodium glucose co-transporter 2 inhibitors have demonstrated favorable effects on cardiovascular and renal disease; however, they may also increase low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C). There are limited data directly comparing the effects of sodium glucose co-transporter 2inhibitors on serum lipids to other antihyperglycemic therapies. In this post-hoc analysis of the CANA-HF trial, we sought to compare the effects of canagliflozin to sitagliptin in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and heart failure and reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF). The CANA-HF trial was a prospective, randomized controlled study that compared the effects of canagliflozin 100 mg daily to sitagliptin 100 mg daily on cardiorespiratory fitness in patients with HFrEF and T2DM. Of the 36 patients enrolled in CANA-HF, 35 patients had both baseline and 12-weeks serum lipids obtained via venipuncture. The change in LDL-C from baseline to 12 weeks was 5 (-12.5 to 19.5) mg/dL versus -8 (-19 to -1) mg/dL (P = 0.82) and triglyceride levels was -4 (-26 to 9) mg/dL and -10.5 (-50 to 29.3) mg/dL (P = 0.52) for canagliflozin and sitagliptin, respectively. No significant differences were found between canagliflozin and sitagliptin for total cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol or non-HDL-C (P > 0.5 for all). These data suggest that compared with sitagliptin, canagliflozin may not increase LDL-C in patients with T2DM and HFrEF.

BACKGROUND: Left ventricular (LV) concentric remodeling refers to a process by which increased LV relative wall thickness alters myocardial geometry, resulting in reduced LV end-diastolic volume (LVEDV) and stroke volume (SV). While the degree of concentric remodeling is a negative prognostic factor in heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF), it is not known how it contributes to cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF). METHODS: We performed a retrospective analysis of patients with HFpEF who underwent treadmill single-photon emission computed tomography myocardial perfusion imaging (SPECT-MPI) and cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPX). From exercise SPECT-MPI, we recorded postexercise LVEDVi, LVESVi, SVi, LVEF, the presence and extent of perfusion defects, and perfusion reversibility. Peak oxygen consumption (VO

ABSTRACT: The NLRP3 inflammasome has been implicated in the development and progression of heart failure. The aim of this study was to determine the safety of an oral inhibitor of the NLRP3 inflammasome, dapansutrile (OLT1177), in patients with heart failure and reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF). This was a phase 1B, randomized, double-blind, dose escalation, single-center, repeat dose safety and pharmacodynamics study of dapansutrile in stable patients with HFrEF (New York Heart Association Class II-III). Subjects were randomized to treatment with dapansutrile for up to 14 days at a ratio of 4:1 into 1 of 3 sequential ascending dose cohorts (500, 1000, or 2000 mg) each including 10 patients. Subjects underwent clinical assessment, biomarker determination, transthoracic echocardiogram, and maximal cardiopulmonary exercise testing at baseline, day 14, and day 28 to ascertain changes in clinical status. Placebo cases (N = 2 per cohort) were used as a decoy to reduce bias and not for statistical comparisons. Thirty participants (20 men) were treated for 13 (12-14) days. No serious adverse events during the study were recorded. All clinical or laboratory parameters at day 14 compared with baseline suggested clinical stability without significant within-group differences in the dapansutrile-pooled group or the 3 dapansutrile cohorts. Improvements in left ventricular EF [from 31.5% (27.5-39) to 36.5% (27.5-45), P = 0.039] and in exercise time [from 570 (399.5-627) to 616 (446.5-688) seconds, P = 0.039] were seen in the dapansutrile 2000 mg cohort. Treatment with dapansutrile for 14 days was safe and well tolerated in patients with stable HFrEF.

Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) is a public health epidemic that is projected to double over the next two decades. Despite the high prevalence of HFpEF, there are currently no FDA approved therapies for health-related outcomes in this clinical syndrome making it one the greatest unmet needs in cardiovascular medicine. Aging and obesity are hallmarks of HFpEF and therefore there is a high incidence of sarcopenic obesity (SO) associated with this syndrome. The presence of SO in HFpEF patients is noteworthy as it is associated with co-morbidities, worsened cardiovascular health, hospitalizations, quality of life, and mortality. Furthermore, SO plays a central role in exercise intolerance, the most commonly reported clinical symptom of this condition. The aim of this review is to provide insights into the current knowledge pertaining to the contributing pathophysiological mechanisms and clinical outcomes associated with HFpEF-related SO. Current and prospective therapies to address SO in HFpEF, including lifestyle and pharmaceutical approaches, are discussed. The urgent need for future research aimed at better understanding the multifaceted physiological contributions to SO in HFpEF and implementing interventional strategies to specifically target SO is highlighted.
