Each kilogram of weight lost is associated with an approximately 1 mmHg reduction in systolic blood pressure. Given that retatrutide produces an average of 28.3% weight loss in the TRIUMPH-1 trial, the expected blood pressure reduction from weight loss alone is substantial. The TRIUMPH-4 trial announced in December 2025 showed significant improvements in systolic blood pressure and other cardiovascular risk markers in the retatrutide group.<\/p>\n<h2>Direct Cardiovascular Effects<\/h2>\n<p>GLP-1 receptor activation has direct effects on the cardiovascular system that are independent of weight loss. Semaglutide&#8217;s SELECT trial demonstrated that the drug reduces major adverse cardiovascular events even in patients who do not lose significant weight. Retatrutide activates the same GLP-1 receptor plus the GIP receptor, which may have additional cardiovascular benefits. The glucagon receptor component, however, introduces a countervailing effect: the heart rate increase of 2-5 bpm could theoretically offset some of the cardiovascular benefits, though the net effect in the trials so far has been favorable.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Weight Loss Lowers Blood Pressure The most significant effect of retatrutide on blood pressure is mediated through weight loss.
