Do SGLT2 inhibitors and GLP-1 receptor agonists modulate differently the risk of stroke ? Discordance between randomised controlled trials and observational studies
Diabetes Metab. 2023 Sep 5:101474. doi: 10.1016/j.diabet.2023.101474. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTStroke represents a major burden in patients with type 2 diabetes, yet this cerebrovascular complication has been less carefully investigated than the risk of cardiovascular mortality, heart failure and renal disease. Some data suggested that glucagon peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) exert a better protection against stroke than sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2is). However, this conclusion was derived from indirect comparisons in absence of any head-to-head randomised controlled trial (RCT). The present...

Antidiabetic agents and risk of atrial fibrillation/flutter: a comparative critical analysis with a focus on differences between SGLT2 inhibitors and GLP-1 receptor agonists
Diabetes Metab. 2022 Sep 25:101390. doi: 10.1016/j.diabet.2022.101390. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTAtrial fibrillation/flutter (AF/AFL) is a common cardiac arrhythmia in patients with diabetes and is associated with an increased risk of morbidity, including ischaemic stroke and heart failure, and mortality. Different classes of glucose-lowering agents have shown distinct effects on the risk of stroke and heart failure. Their effects on cardiac arrhythmias such as AF/AFL have not been carefully investigated yet and even less their possible relationship with classical complications such as stroke and heart failure. The pre...

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...
