Basically what I’m hearing that treating almost anyone with Semaglutide, not necessarily weight reduction, can lower CV risk by multiple pathways 👏 What is needed is to find out who are the ones who are truly going to benefit the most versus the least @MichaelJBlaha @ASPCardio

🔍 Insights from Western Denmark Heart Registry reveal a nuanced impact of LDL-C based on atherosclerosis presence. 🫀Among 23,132 CCTA patients, LDL-C lacks predictive power for future CVD when CAC=0, but strongly correlates with events in CAC>0 cases.
