A multidisciplinary approach involving endocrinology, obstetrics, and pediatrics ensures comprehensive care that prioritizes both maternal health and infant safety during this critical period
We excluded 1) those with diagnoses of AF, atrial tachycardia, ventricular tachycardia, ventricular fibrillation, mechanical valve, hyperthyroidism, or mitral stenosis before or on the index date, 2) those with cardiac events (i.e., myocardial infarction, percutaneous intervention, valve/bypass surgery) in the preceding 3 months, 3) those currently receiving antiarrhythmic medications (e.g., amiodarone, dronedarone, flecainide, propafenone, or dofetilide) on the index date, 4) those who used insulin within one year prior or on the index date, and 5) those who do not have hemoglobin A1C (HbA1c) within one year prior or on the index date (eFigure 1)
Mechanistic studies of the plant GCL demonstrated that reversible disulfide bond formation alters catalytic activity with the oxidized protein more active than the reduced protein (Jez et al., 2004)
And a larger retrospective study of over 1,000 patients found that those on GLP-1s had fewer symptoms, required less medication, and needed fewer procedures over a one-year period compared to those on conventional therapy
It also improves skin health and overall well-being
