Tirzepatide · What it helps
Heart and blood vessels
Blood pressure, triglycerides and markers of inflammation fall as visceral fat shrinks. GLP-1 receptors on blood vessels and the heart add a direct calming effect on the vessel wall. Chinese adults on tirzepatide showed improvements across these cardiometabolic markers. Less strain on the heart follows less fat around it.
