The wire
- 01The systematic review in JCEM pooled five randomized trials and two observational studies, finding hsCRP down 34.3 percent and NT-proBNP down 17.6 percent with tirzepatide, with moderate GRADE certainty.
- 02Clinicians treating HFpEF with obesity now have synthesized biomarker evidence alongside SUMMIT's 5.1-point KCCQ-CSS and 15.8-metre 6-minute walk gains.
- 03Renal findings, including eGFR preservation of 2.90 mL/min/1.73 m2 per year and a 25 percent albuminuria reduction, come from single-trial data the authors call hypothesis-generating pending dedicated heart failure trials.
