Summary

This study looked at whether GLP-1 agonist drugs (like liraglutide) can reduce fat buildup in the hearts of people with type 2 diabetes. 42 adults over 50 with diabetes and at least one heart risk factor were enrolled. Researchers used MRI scans to measure heart fat before and after 6 months of treatment. The goal was to understand how these drugs protect the heart, independent of blood sugar control.
