          PHILADELPHIA — Novo Nordisk’s obesity drug Wegovy notably cut the risk of heart attacks in a landmark cardiovascular trial that affirms the treatment offers health benefits beyond weight loss.

That finding, which was the primary outcome the trial set out to study, was stronger than many were expecting and led Novo’s stock to surge.
