Gonna push back on this one. My cardiologist just high-fived me is not that straightforward in my experience. I have been on this for 12 months and the reality is messier than the trials suggest.
Don't get me wrong — the medication works. But cost accessibility is a real barrier. We should be honest about that.

I respect Dr.RaviCardio perspective but I think this oversimplifies things a bit. Re: My cardiologist just — the effect size varies considerably by population.
I am not saying Dr.RaviCardio wrong entirely — just that the picture is more nuanced than a blanket statement. The SURMOUNT data specifically shows baseline BMI-dependent responses.
