Popular weight-loss drugs such as Ozempic, Wegovy, and Mounjaro may do more than help people shed pounds. New research suggests these GLP-1 medications could also help protect the heart after a heart attack by restoring blood flow in tiny blood vessels that often remain blocked even after doctors reopen a major artery.
