What this study is about
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the impact of a cardiometabolic clinic on percent body weight loss, body mass index (BMI), and visceral adiposity distribution in obese adults with cardiovascular disease (CVD) at 12 months.
A promising-looking record is not the same as confirmed eligibility. The study team must review the full criteria and current recruitment status.

Full registry criteria
Inclusion Criteria: * BMI ≥30 kg/m2 * At least one of the following CVD: atrial fibrillation (AF), coronary artery disease (CAD), HFpEF (heart failure with preserved ejection fraction), HFrEF (heart failure with reduced ejection fraction), ACHD (adult congenital heart disease), or valvular heart disease * Patients evaluated in the Cardiometabolic clinic * Willingness to complete questionnaires/surveys * Ability to complete monthly self-assessments at home Exclusion Criteria: * BMI \<30 kg/m2 * Pregnancy or lactating women * Hemodynamically unstable CVD * Active malignancy * Autoimmune or systemic inflammatory diseases * Severe renal or hepatic failure * Being considered unsafe to participate as determined by the study physician * Taking medications affecting weight or energy intake/energy expenditure in the last 6 months, including weight loss medications, antipsychotic medications, or other medications as determined by the study NP or physician * Patients with active psychosis, mania, or substance use disorders
Primary outcomes
Percent body weight loss12 monthsTotal percent body weight loss will be reported at 12 months based on the following formula: (Starting baseline weight minus current weight) / (starting baseline weight) x 100 equals % of body weight loss.
Change in Body Mass Index (BMI)Baseline, 12 monthsBody Mass Index (BMI) will be calculated using the standard formula from participants' height and weight. BMI = (Weight in Pounds / (Height in inches x Height in inches)) x 703
Change in visceral adiposity distributionBaseline, 12 monthsChange in visceral adiposity distribution measured using dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA).
