Heart fat targeted: new drug combo may lower attack risk
NCT ID NCT07297589
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests two diabetes medications (SGLT2 inhibitors and GLP-1 agonists) to see if they can reduce epicardial fat—the fat around the heart—in people who recently had a heart attack. About 136 participants with type 2 diabetes and obesity will have their heart fat measured by CT scan at the start and after 12 months of treatment. The goal is to find a way to lower future heart risks by targeting this specific fat.
