Summary Of Background Data: Spinal fusions are common interventions for degenerative spine disease (DSD), with increasing utilization in obese and metabolic syndrome populations. Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists (RA), widely adopted for diabetes and weight management, may offer systemic benefits that exert a parallel influence on surgical outcomes.

Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs), initially developed for glycaemic control in patients with type 2 diabetes, have demonstrated significant cardiometabolic benefits beyond glucose regulation. These agents have multiple effects, including reducing body weight, improving insulin sensitivity, anti-inflammatory properties and enhancing endothelial function. All these mechanisms are potentially beneficial in patients with heart failure (HF), specifically those with HF with preserved left ventricular ejection fraction.

Despite advances in cardiovascular risk reduction in type 2 diabetes (T2D), a persistent gap remains compared to individuals without diabetes. Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RA) have provided consistent cardiovascular benefits. With more cardiovascular protective agents available for diabetes management, their incremental effect may be nearing a ceiling.
