Glucagon-like Peptide-1 Receptor Agonists and Cardioprotective Benefit in Patients with Type 2 Diabetes Without Baseline Metformin: A Systematic Review and Update Meta-analysis

ConclusionsIn this meta-analysis, GLP-1RAs reduced the incidence of MACE in patients with type 2 diabetes without metformin at baseline, without significant reduction in all-cause mortality and cardiovascular mortality. These results support the fact that when a GLP-1RAs is administered, the benefit on cardiovascular outcomes is independent of the use of metformin.
