Nice coverage of SUMMIT @tctmd.bsky.social

Well-executed trial; large benefit w tirzepatide in HFpEF + obesity

Note sample size modest (731) & modest number of events (92)

Within SUMMIT, 175 underwent cardiac MRI with 106 having sufficient image quality. Among these, tirzepatide v placebo led to decreased LV mass & paracardiac adipose tissue. Improvements correlated with weight loss www.jacc.org/doi/10.1016/... @jaccjournals.bsky.social @ahascience.bsky.social #AHA24
