Tirzepatide provides cardiovascular protection by reducing major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) and improving cardiovascular risk scores in patients with type 2 diabetes and obesity.
Tirzepatide not only helps with weight and blood sugar but also lowers your long-term risk of heart attack and stroke. It improves blood pressure and cholesterol, contributing to overall heart health.

- Initial treatment for type 2 diabetes should be a combination of metformin and either an SGLT-2 inhibitor or a GLP-1 receptor agonist to achieve cardiorenal protection, rather than monotherapy or older agents like sulfonylureas.Strong
- For patients with specific monogenic obesity syndromes (leptin deficiency, POMC/PCSK1/LEPR mutations), targeted pharmacotherapy (recombinant leptin or setmelanotide) is highly effective and should be prioritized, unlike in polygenic obesity.Strong
- Continued weekly administration of 2.4 mg subcutaneous semaglutide prevents weight regain and promotes further weight loss in adults with overweight or obesity, whereas switching to placebo results in significant weight regain.Strong
