The just-released study—a double-blinded placebo-controlled randomized clinical trial of obese adults—appears in the New England Journal of Medicine.”
“In patients with #HeartFailure with preserved ejection fraction #HFpEF and #obesity, treatment with #semaglutide (2.4 mg) led to larger reductions in symptoms and physical limitations, greater improvements in exercise function, and greater weight loss than placebo.”
