Evaluate the impact of semaglutide on blood pressure in individuals with uncontrolled hypertension and obesity.
Analyzed data from STEP 1, 3, 5-9 (weekly injectable semaglutide) and OASIS 4 (daily oral semaglutide).
Participants included those with systolic BP ≥140 mmHg and/or diastolic BP ≥90 mmHg.
Changes in systolic and diastolic blood pressure were assessed over the treatment period.
Systolic BP decreased significantly by 5.48 mmHg (95% CI -7.78, -3.19; p<0.0001) with semaglutide vs. placebo.
Diastolic BP decreased by 2.73 mmHg (95% CI -4.19, -1.27; p=0.0003) with semaglutide vs. placebo.
Overall, semaglutide showed meaningful improvements in blood pressure among participants.
