International heart experts believe the weight-loss drug Ozempic could be given to millions of healthy adults, amid mounting evidence it also helps protect the body from cardiovascular disease.

While the powerful drug, and similar medicines such as Mounjaro and Wegovy, are incredibly effective at suppressing appetite, world-leading cardiologists have unveiled more than a dozen exciting discoveries about the jabs that go far beyond weight loss.

The findings, revealed at the American Heart Association’s annual conference in Chicago, provide hope to sufferers of deadly heart conditions that, until recently, seemed near-impossible to treat.

Surprisingly, many experts admit they are still unsure why these medicines, known collectively as glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists, or GLP-1 medicines, are so effective at protecting the heart.

Until recently, it was thought that the weight-loss triggered by the weekly injections was the sole reason patients were less likely to suffer cardiovascular complications, as obesity is a leading cause of most forms of chronic disease.

The same logic was used to explain why growing research suggests GLP-1 drugs lower the risk of developing a host of serious conditions, including kidney disease, cancer and even Alzheimer’s. However, multiple studies presented at the conference put paid to this theory.

Patients taking GLP-1 injections – regardless of whether they even lose weight – are significantly less likely to suffer all manner of dangerous heart problems.
