00:00What if the same drugs helping people lose weight could also save their hearts after a heart attack?
00:04A new study says they just might.
00:06Doctors can reopen a blocked artery.
00:08But for many patients, the danger isn't over.
00:11Deep inside, the heart muscle tiny vessels can stay squeezed shut.
00:15This silent threat is called no reflow, and it affects almost half of all heart attack patients.
00:20But here's the twist.
00:22GLP-1 drugs like Ozempic, Wegevy, Victoza, and Saxenda may protect the heart in the hours after an attack.
00:28Researchers found that these drugs relax tiny cells called parasites.
00:32These cells normally clamp down during a heart attack, and they keep blocking blood even after the artery is cleared.
00:39When GLP-1 drugs loosen these cells, blood moves freely again through the smallest vessels,
00:44and the heart gets the oxygen it needs to heal.
00:47This opens a powerful new possibility.
00:50A drug already used for weight loss may also prevent deadly heart complications.
00:54Scientists say this could change how doctors treat heart attacks.
00:58And a medicine millions already take might offer life-saving protection.
01:02It's not a location.
01:02We've chosen to keep the virus at risk of having oink 있으면.
