Effect of Tirzepatide on Cardiovascular and Metabolic Parameters in Obese Adult Patients With Congenital Heart Disease

Several drugs have been shown effective in the treatment of obesity, with concomitant favourable cardiovascular effects. Today, there are no studies on novel anti-obesity drugs in patients with adult congenital heart disease (ACHD). Therefore, the investigators aim to study the effects of the anti-obesity drug tirzepatide (Munjaro) on cardiovascular and metabolic factors in obese patients with ACHD. In a 24-week, randomized, open-label, placebo-controlled clinical trial the investigators will compare the effects of tirzepatide versus placebo in ACHD patients diagnosed with obesity. Patients will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to either the intervention or placebo group. Participants will have monthly visits to monitor progress. At the beginning and end of the study, a full investigation protocol will be performed.
