For instance, post hoc analyses from SURMOUNT-1 through SURMOUNT-4 [73] and from across the SURPASS program [74] showed that weight reduction with tirzepatide was neither solely nor fully associated with reported gastrointestinal adverse events, challenging the traditional assumption that nausea and vomiting are significant mediators of weight reduction
Since 2015, large-scale cardiovascular outcome trials (CVOTs) have demonstrated that sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) and glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) significantly reduce the risk of major adverse cardiovascular events, cardiovascular mortality, and heart failure hospitalization in patients with T2DM and established cardiovascular disease or high-risk profiles
