It's finally here! SURPASS CVOT trial results! This is an interesting blend of benefits. The quick summary is tirzepatide is better for renal outcomes, A1c, weight and all cause mortality. For cardiovascular outcomes it's essentially equivalent/slightly better to a monoagonist GLP1. Let's dive in 🧵

Weight loss drugs can halve heart patients’ risk of early death, study finds
GLP-1 agonists could be given to millions with heart conditions to help them stay out of hospital and live longer
Weight loss drugs can reduce by half the risk of heart patients being hospitalised or dying early, according to the largest study of its kind.
The class of drugs, known as GLP-1 agonists, have been found to offer “dramatic benefits” to heart patients, significantly cutting their risk of falling seriously ill or dying prematurely from any cause. Continue reading...
