Abstract

BACKGROUND: While cardiovascular benefits of tirzepatide, a glucose-dependent insulinotropic peptide/glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), and its comparative effectiveness vs glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) is studied in randomized controlled trials, real-world outcomes may provide critical insights. OBJECTIVES: The purpose of this study was to examine the cardiovascular benefits of tirzepatide vs GLP-1RA in people living with overweight or obesity, with T2DM, age ≥40 years, and pre-existing ischemic heart disease (IHD). METHODS: receiving either tirzepatide or GLP-1RA were identified and divided into 2 groups (tirzepatide vs GLP-1RA). After propensity score matching, Cox-proportional HRs were used to compare efficacy and safety outcomes during 1-year follow-up. RESULTS: Among 47,719 adults, 753 received tirzepatide, and 46,966 were on GLP-1RA. After propensity score matching, each group had 751 adults (mean age 59.9 ± 8.9 years, 46.5% females, 74.8% White adults in the tirzepatide group). Treatment with tirzepatide was associated with lower primary composite outcomes of acute myocardial infarction, ischemic stroke, and all-cause mortality (HR: 0.60, 95% CI: 0.43-0.84, P < 0.001). Individually, acute myocardial infarction (HR: 0.59, 95% CI: 0.38-0.91) and all-cause mortality (HR: 0.35, 95% CI: 0.14-0.88, P = 0.001) were also found to be favorable in the tirzepatide group. CONCLUSIONS: , and pre-existing IHD.

  • The association between tirzepatide versus semaglutide and CVD risk reduction is consistent with previous real-world evidence studies.

    “The association between tirzepatide vs. semaglutide and CVD risk reduction is consistent with previous real-world evidence studies.13,20,21,14,40”

    From Tirzepatide compared with semaglutide and 10-year cardiovascular disease risk reduction in obesity: <i>post-hoc</i> analysis of the SURMOUNT-5 trial (2025) · cites this paper as [40]

    The Results (Subgroup analysis; page unavailable) report a lower composite cardiovascular risk with tirzepatide in a real-world comparison against semaglutide or liraglutide combined. The paper does not report a semaglutide-only cardiovascular comparison, so it supports the direction of the claim but not its specific comparator. (LLM, conf=0.86)

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
