The Adipokine Hypothesis: Does it Play a Major or Minor Role in HFpEF?
We read with great interest the paper “The Adipokine Hypothesis of Heart Failure With a Preserved Ejection Fraction”.
The adipokine hypothesis explores biological mechanisms beyond the well-known risk factors for heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). The article presents a well-supported hypothesis based on data from bench research, animal studies, preclinical findings, and epidemiological evidence. The biological plausibility of the hypothesis is sound. However, certain considerations merit further discussion regarding the interpretation of HFpEF risk factors.
