  1. 01HumanObservational studyEfficacy outcome

    In matched patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction, obesity and type 2 diabetes, a primary outcome event (KCCQ difference of 5 points or more) occurred in 60.6% on once-weekly semaglutide versus 17.7% of controls.

    In plain wordsIn patients with heart failure, obesity and type 2 diabetes, more semaglutide users than controls had a clear gain in heart failure symptom score.
