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.
Effects of Empagliflozin on Markers of Liver Steatosis and Fibrosis and Their Relationship to Cardiorenal Outcomes
Diabetes Obes Metab 2022; doi:10.1111/dom.14670
In this study of adults with T2D and established CV disease, the proportion of patients at high steatosis risk decreased slightly in patients treated with empagliflozin compared with patients treated with placebo. Fibrosis risk was not reduced.
Effects of canagliflozin with placebo on major adverse cardiovascular and kidney events in patient groups with different baseline levels of HbA1c disease duration and treatment intensity: results from the CANVAS program
Diabetologia. 2021;64:2402–14 doi.org/10.1007/s00125-021-05524-1
This study by Young et al. shows canagliflozin to have beneficial CV and kidney outcomes in patients with T2DM across a range of diabetes complexities with an underlying risk of CV disease.
Dapagliflozin and Cardiovascular Outcomes in Type 2 Diabetes
N Engl J Med 2019;380:347–57 DOI 10.1056/NEJMoa1812389
Dapagliflozin was found to be noninferior to placebo in terms of major adverse cardiovascular events in the DECLARE-TIMI 58 trial.
Cardiovascular and Renal Outcomes with Empagliflozin in Heart Failure
N Engl J Med 2020;383:1413–24 DOI 10.1056/NEJMoa2022190
Empagliflozin demonstrated a reduction in CV death, HF hospitalisation, rate of eGFR decline and risk of serious renal outcomes in patients with chronic HF and reduced ejection fraction in the EMPEROR-reduced study.
Effects of Once-Weekly Exenatide on Cardiovascular Outcomes in Type 2 Diabetes
N Engl J Med 2017;377:1228–39 DOI: 10.1056/NEJMoa1612917
The EXSCEL study showed that among patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) with or without previous cardiovascular (CV) disease, the incidence of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) did not differ significantly between patients who received exenatide and those who received placebo.
Liraglutide and Cardiovascular Outcomes in Type 2 Diabetes
N Engl J Med 2016;375:311–22 DOI: 10.1056/NEJMoa1603827
The LEADER trial demonstrated CV benefits with liraglutide, and showed that the rate of the first occurrence of death from cardiovascular (CV) causes, nonfatal myocardial infarction (MI), or nonfatal stroke among patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) was lower with liraglutide than with placebo.
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.
