Given the growing evidence that obesity is associated with increased cardiovascular risk, a recent study assessed the impact of semaglutide on cardiovascular outcomes in patients who are overweight or obese but do not have diabetes. Not only did semaglutide reduce the risk of cardiovascular death, myocardial infarction, and stroke by 20 percent, but it also significantly reduced the risk of developing diabetes. Dive further into the findings and implications with Dr. Carol Wysham and study author Dr. Michael Lincoff.
