@donnaelizabeth_pa_c: 🫀 GLP-1s & heart health: beyond blood sugar Certain GLP-1 medications have reduced the risk of heart attack, stroke, or cardiovascular death in specific patient populations. How might they help? • Improvements in blood sugar and other cardiovascular risk factors • Modest reductions in blood pressure • Possible effects on inflammation and blood vessel function—research is ongoing The benefits depend on the medication and the individual. These findings don’t mean GLP-1s “clear out” artery plaque. As a PA-C, I share research to help you have informed conversations with your healthcare team. For education only—not personal medical advice. #HeartHealth #glp1 #healtheducation #cholesterol #heartattack
