The Comparative Cardiovascular and Renal Effectiveness of Sodium-Glucose Co-Transporter-2 Inhibitors and Glucagon-Like Peptide-1 Receptor Agonists: A Scandinavian Cohort Study
Diabetes Obes Metab 2022;24:473–85 doi: 10.1111/dom.14598
In this study by Ueda et al., SGLT2 inhibitors were associated with a similar risk of heart failure and a lower risk of serious renal events compared with GLP-1 receptor agonist,s and the use of GLP-1 receptor agonists was associated with a slightly lower risk of MACE compared with SGLT2 inhibitors.
Cardiovascular Outcomes with Finerenone According to Glycemic Status at Baseline and Prior Treatment with Newer Antidiabetics among Patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus
Endocrinol Metab 2022;37:170–4; doi.org/10.3803/EnM.2021.1296
Finerenone induced a 13% risk reduction in MACE (a composite of death from CV causes, nonfatal myocardial infarction, nonfatal stroke, or hospitalisation for heart failure) regardless of prior glycaemia. There was no difference in finerenone-derived MACE benefits whether patients were on baseline SGLT2i or GLP-1RA or not.
Oral Semaglutide and Cardiovascular Outcomes in Patients with Type 2 Diabetes
N Engl J Med 2019;381:841–51 DOI 10.1056/NEJMoa1901118
In the PIONEER 6 trial, the cardiovascular risk profile of oral semaglutide was noninferior to placebo over 83 weeks.
