The researchers examined the lifestyle habits, GLP-1 RA usage, and cardiovascular health outcomes of more than 98,000 adults living with T2D and without any prior cardiovascular disease, using data from the Veterans Affairs Million Veteran Program from 2011 to 2023
GLP-1 receptor agonists (semaglutide, liraglutide, dulaglutide) and the GIP/GLP-1 dual agonist tirzepatide modulate appetite, satiety, and gastric emptying, documented across STEP (semaglutide, NEJM 2021), SURMOUNT (tirzepatide, NEJM 2022), and SURMOUNT-OSA (tirzepatide for obstructive sleep apnea, NEJM 2024)
It provides a brief window of receptor activation
