Authors' conclusion

Our study showed not only that there was a greater increase in heart rate in the TZP group than in the control, GLP-1RA and non-GLP-1RA groups, but also that the 15-mg dose of TZP had the strongest impact on increasing heart rates compared with the other five inventions, with a TZP dose-response impact on heart rate. Further research on the effects of TZP treatment-related increases in heart rate is required.
