Saxenda for Heart failure (HFpEF)
liraglutide · Investigational / off-label
Last updated 2026-05-28 15:46 UTCSaxenda (liraglutide) is not FDA-approved for heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF), and any use for this condition is off-label or investigational. Research includes multiple studies exploring liraglutide's effects on heart failure, but none demonstrate FDA-approved efficacy for HFpEF.
