Abstract

Semaglutide may reduce the risk of cardiovascular death (CVD) based on findings from randomized controlled trials (RCTs).

  • Semaglutide is associated with a reduction in major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE).
  • The effect of semaglutide on CVD varies among different patient groups.
