In a large real‑world study, people with obesity and a type of heart failure called HFpEF who took GLP‑1 drugs like semaglutide did better than those who had weight‑loss surgery. They had fewer heart‑failure flare‑ups, lived longer, and spent less time in the hospital, while losing about the same amount of weight. This suggests GLP‑1 drugs can be a powerful, non‑surgical option for managing weight and heart health in this high‑risk group.
