Why Your Cardiologist May Prescribe Semaglutide (Wegovy)

In addition to having a 20% lower risk overall of major cardiac events, such as heart attack, stroke, or cardiovascular death, participants who took Wegovy had a 28% reduction in heart attacks (for those already taking heart medications, such as statins, to reduce cholesterol), a 7% decrease in non-fatal strokes, and a 15% drop in cardiovascular-related deaths.

I’m on Zepbound now and have lost almost 30 pounds! I’ve spent much of my life overweight or obese and it is a terrifying experience to feel out of control over my own body! But now I do feel in control! It has taken 3 months to lose this weight and I still have a long road ahead of me but I will continue!!!

@A MyHeartDiseaseTeam Member That is a lot of weight in 3 months! Most of us lose a pound a week at the most without weight loss drugs. That is wonderful and I bet you are feeling so much better! Hugs🤗
