Heart disease outcomes linked to semaglutide and tirzepatide in type 2 diabetes and obesity: a comprehensive review

Updated

Abstract

Evidence on coronary artery disease (CAD)-related outcomes from randomized controlled trials of semaglutide and tirzepatide is limited.

  • Semaglutide and tirzepatide are used for treating metabolic diseases through incretin-based therapy.
  • Current knowledge about CAD outcomes specifically related to these drugs has been primarily derived from separate trials.
  • Different control groups in these randomized trials complicate the synthesis of findings across various CAD phenotypes.
  • Focus on CAD-related outcomes in adults with type 2 diabetes and/or obesity remains insufficient.
