Semaglutide improved heart filling in obesity-related heart failure

Semaglutide improved how much the heart’s upper left chamber stretched by 5.7 percentage points versus placebo over 52 weeks in a 49-person trial substudy.Semaglutide improved how much the heart’s upper left chamber stretched by 5.7 percentage points versus placebo over 52 weeks in a 49-person trial substudy.

Heart sections compare an expanded upper chamber in dark blue-green with a smaller gray heart showing narrower chambers and thicker muscle.
