Duration of hyperthyroidism and lack of sufficient treatment are associated with increased cardiovascular risk.
CONCLUSION: Risk of cardiovascular disease was found increased in untreated hyperthyroid patients, and duration of decreased TSH associated with increasing risk of cardiovascular outcomes in both treated and untreated hyperthyroid individuals. This suggests that increased cardiovascular risk is not only driven by lack of treatment but also by insufficient therapy. Our results support timely treatment and careful monitoring of hyperthyroid patients in order to reduce cardiovascular risk. PMID: 30648498 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Dapagliflozin is associated with lower risk of cardiovascular events and all ‐cause mortality in people with type 2 diabetes (CVD‐REAL Nordic) when compared with dipeptidyl peptidase‐4 inhibitor therapy: A multinational observational study
ConclusionsDapagliflozin was associated with lower risks of CV events and all‐cause mortality compared with DPP‐4 inhibitors in a real‐world clinical setting and a broad T2D population.

Cardiovascular mortality and morbidity in patients with type 2 diabetes following initiation of sodium-glucose co-transporter-2 inhibitors versus other glucose-lowering drugs (CVD-REAL Nordic): a multinational observational analysis
Publication date: Available online 3 August 2017 Source:The Lancet Diabetes & Endocrinology Author(s): Kåre I Birkeland, Marit E Jørgensen, Bendix Carstensen, Frederik Persson, Hanne L Gulseth, Marcus Thuresson, Peter Fenici, David Nathanson, Thomas Nyström, Jan W Eriksson, Johan Bodegård, Anna Norhammar Background In patients with type 2 diabetes and a high cardiovascular risk profile, the sodium-glucose co-transporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitors empagliflozin and canagliflozin have been shown to lower cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Using real-world data from clinical practice, we aimed to compare cardiovas...
