HbA1c Reduction, Not Weight Loss, Drives GLP-1RA Heart Benefits
Emma Harutyunyan, Endocrinologist at Yeolyan Hematology and Oncology Center, shared a post by Daisuke Yabe on LinkedIn:
”HbA1c reduction, not bodyweight change, was significantly and proportionally associated with MACE risk reduction.
HbA1c lowering may serve as a useful surrogate for the cardiovascular improvements associated with GLP-1RAs in type 2 diabetes.”
