A post-hoc pooled analysis of four randomised trials found once-weekly semaglutide lowered the composite of cardiovascular death or worsening heart failure events in patients with HFpEF, with no significant effect on cardiovascular death alone. PICO summary and expert commentary.

A prespecified FLOW analysis found once-weekly semaglutide 1 mg lowered the risk of heart failure events or cardiovascular death in adults with type 2 diabetes and chronic kidney disease. PICO summary and expert commentary.
Secondary analysis of the SELECT trial finds semaglutide 2.4 mg lowered all-cause death in adults with obesity and cardiovascular disease but no diabetes, with much of the non-cardiovascular benefit driven by fewer infectious and COVID-19-related deaths. PICO summary and expert commentary.
A prespecified pooled secondary analysis of the STEP-HFpEF trials found semaglutide improved symptoms, weight, and exercise capacity consistently across baseline C-reactive protein strata and lowered CRP regardless of weight loss. PICO summary and expert commentary.
A secondary analysis of the pooled STEP-HFpEF trials found semaglutide improved heart-failure symptoms more in obesity-related HFpEF patients with a history of atrial fibrillation than in those without. PICO summary and expert commentary.
An echocardiography substudy of the STEP-HFpEF Program found once-weekly semaglutide 2.4 mg attenuated left atrial and right ventricular remodeling versus placebo over 52 weeks. PICO summary and expert commentary.
A post hoc analysis of the SUSTAIN 6 trial reports that once-weekly semaglutide was associated with lower odds of developing diabetic kidney disease in adults with type 2 diabetes who had no kidney disease at baseline. PICO summary and expert commentary.
A post-hoc pooled analysis of four semaglutide trials found a lower risk of cardiovascular death or worsening heart failure in patients with HFpEF, though cardiovascular death alone was not reduced. PICO summary and expert commentary.
A prespecified secondary analysis of the pooled STEP-HFpEF and STEP-HFpEF DM trials examining whether semaglutide 2.4 mg benefits in obesity-related HFpEF differ by sex. PICO summary and expert commentary.
A 12-week pilot RCT comparing an 800 kcal/day very-low calorie diet, semaglutide, and their combination in 30 adults with type 2 diabetes. PICO summary and expert commentary.
