Weight loss can reverse the cardiovascular changes that take place in the heart, but will a new diet and exercise work, or is intervention necessary with bariatric surgery or GLP-1s?

The article from Medscape discusses the impact of new weight loss options on cardiac health, highlighting that these treatments not only aid in weight reduction but also significantly improve cardiovascular outcomes. It details how medications like semaglutide and tirzepatide, originally developed for diabetes management, have shown substantial benefits in reducing body weight and improving heart health metrics such as blood pressure, cholesterol levels, and inflammation markers. The article also covers the results of recent clinical trials, such as the SELECT trial for semaglutide, which demonstrated a significant reduction in major adverse cardiovascular events. Additionally, it touches on the potential of these drugs to be used as preventive measures in patients at risk for cardiovascular diseases, emphasizing the need for a holistic approach to patient care that includes lifestyle changes alongside pharmacological interventions.
