Liraglutide, a GLP-1 receptor agonist, prevents cardiovascular outcomes in patients with type 2 diabetes
Commentary on: Marso SP, Daniels GH, Brown-Frandsen K, et al.. Liraglutide and cardiovascular outcomes in type 2 diabetes. N Engl J Med 2016;375:311–22 . Context Despite the treatments available for type 2 diabetes, about two-thirds of these patients die from associated heart disease or stroke.1 Approval of the first glucagon-like peptide-1 agonist (GLP-1), exenatide, by the FDA in 2005 generated an expectation that the clinical outcomes in type 2 diabetes would be improved. However, we still do not have definitive evidence that exenatide does this, although a clinical trial to determine this, the Exenatide Study of ...

Practice Pearl: Liraglutide and Cardiovascular and Renal Events in Type 2 Diabetes.
Authors: Guthrie R Abstract Review of: Marso S, Daniels G, Brown-Frandsen K, et al. Liraglutide and Cardiovascular Outcomes in Type 2 Diabetes. N Engl J Med 2016; 375: 311-322. Mann J, Orsted D, Brown-Frandsen K, et al. Liraglutide and Renal Outcomes in Type 2 Diabetes. N Engl J Med 2017; 377: 839-848. This comprehensive research project, LEADER, led to two reports, one focusing on the effect of liraglutide on cardiovascular events, and the second one reporting on the renal effects on the same study population. The study group included 9340 patients with type 2 diabetes. Patients were required to have type 2 diabet...

Comparative Effectiveness of Glucose-Lowering Drugs for Type 2 Diabetes: A Systematic Review and Network Meta-analysis.
CONCLUSION: In diabetic patients at low cardiovascular risk, no treatment differs from placebo for vascular outcomes. In patients at increased cardiovascular risk receiving metformin-based background therapy, specific GLP-1 RAs and SGLT-2 inhibitors have a favorable effect on certain cardiovascular outcomes.
