ESC HF 25 - Safety outcomes from PRAISE-HFrEF show that glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonism (GLP-1 RA) treatment for heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) and obesity was not associated with increased risk of heart failure hospitalisation or mortality compared to placebo, with greater benefits observed in patients with higher BMI.Dr Varun Sundaram (Case Western Reserve…

A new study has found that the novel oral GLP-1 receptor agonist, orforglipron, demonstrated superior glycaemic control compared to oral semaglutide in adults with type 2 diabetes (T2D). The findings come from the ACHIEVE-3 trial, a phase 3 study published in The Lancet.¹Mechanism of ActionOrforglipron is a non-peptide glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist designed for once-daily oral…

A secondary analysis of the SUMMIT trial has found that the benefits of tirzepatide on reducing the risk of cardiovascular death or worsening heart failure (HF) are consistent across all levels of obesity in patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF).¹ However, patients with a higher baseline body mass index (BMI) experienced greater improvements in exercise capacity and…
