FDA approves semaglutide for reducing heart risks in high-risk diabetics, with studies showing significant cardiovascular benefits.
The FDA has approved oral semaglutide (Rybelsus) to reduce major cardiovascular events in high-risk adults with type 2 diabetes, based on the SOUL trial showing a 14% lower risk of heart attack, stroke, or cardiovascular death over nearly four years.
A separate Lancet study of over 17,600 adults with overweight or obesity and existing heart disease found weekly semaglutide injections reduced major cardiac events by 20%, regardless of weight loss, with benefits linked to reduced abdominal fat and likely direct cardiovascular effects.
The findings suggest broader potential for semaglutide in heart disease prevention beyond weight loss.
