The SURMOUNT-MMO trial is underway to test if #tirzepatide can reduce heart attacks, strokes, heart failure, and death in adults with obesity. This global study will enroll ~15,000 people at risk for cardiovascular events and is the first trial to see if an incretin medication

📉 What happens after stopping anti-obesity meds? Meta-analysis Significant weight regain begins 8 weeks after discontinuation Continuing through 20 weeks. 🔁 Regain most notable with GLP-1 RAs ⚠️ Need for long-term strategies beyond medication alone bmcmedicine.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11…

📉 What happens after stopping anti-obesity meds?

Meta-analysis

Significant weight regain begins 8 weeks after discontinuation

Continuing through 20 weeks.

🔁 Regain most notable with GLP-1 RAs

⚠️ Need for long-term strategies beyond medication alone

Now Dr. Navar debates that ApoB should be measured over LDL 🫀 Apo B & LDL can be discordant but ApoB identified risk greater than LDL 🫀 ApoB is a Better assay, don’t need to fast & LDL is not that accurate 🫀Guidelines say check in MetSyn because discordant 🫀ESC says ApoB ⭐️
