A recent study funded by Novo Nordisk has found a potential treatment for a condition where the heart is too stiff to fill properly. The study suggests that the drug Wegovy could modify the disease process and offer effective treatment for patients with this condition.
This condition happens when the heart pumps normally, but the organ is too stiff to fill properly.is likely an important factor, it cannot explain everything,” study co-author Dr. Mikhail Kosiborod, a cardiologist and vice president of research at St. Luke's Health System in Kansas City, Mo., told“I think that's incredibly exciting because first of all, these patients are really difficult to treat and there are a lot more of them every day,” Kosiborod said.
The participants who got Wegovy started at a lower dose and worked their way to a 2.4 milligram dose once a week. Researchers followed both groups for a year. The findings of this trial, along with the one published last year, suggest Wegovy works for a broad population of people, Kosiborod said.
