Description

Treating obesity is now recommended as part of best practice care for patients living with overweight and obesity who have had an adverse cardiovascular event. As Cardiologist Dr Adam Nelson explains, weight loss should now be considered a therapeutic target, in the same way we treat cholesterol and blood pressure, when implementing secondary prevention, such as after a heart attack. He will also present evidence for the effectiveness of GLP-1 agonists in this space and how semaglutide 2.4mg can and should be included in clinical care, according to international cardiology guidelines and even our own TGA recommendations.
