Published findings in The BMJ, August 2026
The FDA approved tirzepatide (Mounjaro) on August 28 to lower the risk of heart attack, stroke, and cardiovascular death in adults with type 2 diabetes at high risk. The decision rests on SURPASS-CVOT, a 13,000-patient trial that found tirzepatide matched an older GLP-1 medicine, dulaglutide (Trulicity), on major heart events, with an estimated 8% lower rate.
