Core Tip
Core Tip: The coexistence of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) and metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD), poses significant clinical challenges due to their intricate relationship and similar metabolic pathophysiology. Clinical management strategies for HFpEF and MASLD still faces challenges. Sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors showing benefits in HFpEF or MASLD, while other drugs, such as glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists and statins remains under investigation. A holistic, patient-centered approach combining metabolic and cardiovascular care is vital for improving HFpEF and MASLD outcomes in global metabolic health challenges.
