Glucagon-like peptide-1 agonists are effective weight loss treatments, yet few data are available regarding their use in patients with durable left ventricular assist devices. We report our single-center experience with glucagon-like peptide-1 agonist use in 21 patients with World Health Organization class I to III obesity on durable left ventricular assist device support. During therapy, patients experienced a median weight change of −12.4 (−20.0 to −2.9) kg and a −7.4% (−16.3 to −2.1) change in body weight with a median time on glucagon-like peptide-1 agonist therapy of 12 (6-22) months. Of these, 17 of 21 patients lost weight (median change −14.0kg [−21.8 to −5.3], −9.5% [−18.0 to −4.0] body weight) and 9 of 21 had a speed reduction. No major adverse events were attributed to glucagon-like peptide-1 agonist therapy. At our center, glucagon-like peptide-1 agonists use was well tolerated, safe, and associated with weight loss in patients with durable left ventricular assist devices. |
