Popular weight loss and anti-inflammatory drugs may help prevent common heart rhythm disorder
Summary
Researchers at Ben-Gurion University of the Negev (BGU) have identified how two different classes of medication—the GLP-1 receptor agonist semaglutide and the anti-inflammatory drug colchicine—act on the heart to prevent the development of Atrial Fibrillation (AF).
