Understanding the cardiovascular risk with non-insulin antidiabetic drugs.
Authors: Athyros VG, Imprialos K, Stavropoulos K, Sahinidis A, Doumas M Abstract INTRODUCTION: Diabetes mellitus is a major public health problem with significant macro- and micro-vascular complications. Achievement of glucose control is associated with substantial reduction of micro-vascular events, while the effects of antidiabetic drugs in macro-vascular complications are less clear. This review summarizes and critically discusses the cardiovascular effects of non-insulin antidiabetic agents. Areas covered: A selective literature search of Pubmed was performed regarding the efficacy and safety of non-insulin ant...

Blood Flow Restriction Exercise Attenuates the Exercise-Induced Endothelial Progenitor Cell Response in Healthy, Young Men
Conclusion In summary, this is the first study to show that BFR exercise did not augment EPC response to exercise, and in fact blunted the EPC response to low load unilateral KE exercise in young, healthy males. Ethics Statement This study was carried out in accordance with the recommendations of Edinburgh Napier University Research and Ethics Governance Committee. The study was ethically approved by Edinburgh Napier University Research and Ethics Governance Committee. All participants gave written informed consent in accordance with the Declaration of Helsinki. Author Contributions MR, RM, AP, CW, GF-J designed the s...

Liraglutide for the prevention of major adverse cardiovascular events in diabetic patients.
Authors: Madsbad S Abstract INTRODUCTION: The GLP-1 receptor agonist (GLP-1 RA) liraglutide has a half-life of approximately 13 h and is suitable for subcutaneous administration once daily. The use of liraglutide in people with type 2 diabetes has become popular because of the efficacy and durability in relation to glycemic control in combination with weight loss in most patients. Areas covered: PubMed searches were completed using the terms "GLP-1 receptor agonist", "Liraglutide", "Liraglutide and CVD", "Liraglutide and CVD risk factors". The reference list of articles subsequently identified was searched and arti...

Summary: International Kidney Cancer Symposium
Conclusions:  Ideal ischemia time is 20-25 minutes or less improves short and long term renal function. >25 minutes carried 5 year risk of new onset stage 4 CKD No differences on GFR for cold vs. warm ischemia times Preoperative GFR and the percent of kidney preserved was a better predictor of post op GFR.  No ischemia preserves renal function better than warm. Longer cold ischemia times were equivalent to shorter warm ischemia times. Quality and quantity of the remaining kidney is associated with ultimate renal function.

Budget impact analysis for dapagliflozin in type 2 diabetes in Egypt.
Conclusion: Treating T2DM patients using dapagliflozin instead of conventional medications, maximizes patient's benefits and decreases total costs due to drug cost offsets from fewer cardiovascular and renal events. The adoption of dapagliflozin is a budget-saving treatment option, resulting in substantial population-level health gains due to reduced event rate and cost savings from the perspective of the national healthcare system.

SGLT2 inhibitors compared with other glucose ‐lowering drugs in Japan: Subanalyses of the CVD‐REAL 2 Study
In conclusion, SGLT2i initiators had lower risks of CV events versus oGLD initiators and, uniquely, versus DPP4i initiators in Japanese real‐world practice.

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.

Meta-analysis Assessing the Effect of Sodium-glucose Co-transporter-2 Inhibitors on Left Ventricular Mass in Patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus
Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) has evolved as a pandemic of the 21st century, while cardiovascular disease (CVD) affects almost one third of patients and represents the cause of death in more than half cases, with coronary artery disease, heart failure (HF) and stroke being the main contributors.1 Hallmark cardiovascular outcome trials published during the last five years have established a novel class of antidiabetics, namely sodium-glucose co-transporter-2 (SGLT-2) inhibitors as a primary treatment option in patients with HF, atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) or chronic kidney disease (CKD), along with the ...

Cardiovascular outcomes with glucagon-like peptide 1 agonists and sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors in patients with type 2 diabetes: A meta-analysis.
CONCLUSIONS: Both GLP-1 agonists and SGLT-2 inhibitors showed comparable cardiovascular outcomes in patients with type 2 diabetes. However, the SGLT-2 inhibitors were associated with more pronounced reduction of hospitalization for HF and lower risk of treatment discontinuation than GLP-1 agonists.

Adverse Pregnancy Outcomes and Cardiovascular Disease Risk: Unique Opportunities for Cardiovascular Disease Prevention in Women: A Scientific Statement From the American Heart Association
Circulation. 2021 Mar 29:CIR0000000000000961. doi: 10.1161/CIR.0000000000000961. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThis statement summarizes evidence that adverse pregnancy outcomes (APOs) such as hypertensive disorders of pregnancy, preterm delivery, gestational diabetes, small-for-gestational-age delivery, placental abruption, and pregnancy loss increase a woman's risk of developing cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors and of developing subsequent CVD (including fatal and nonfatal coronary heart disease, stroke, peripheral vascular disease, and heart failure). This statement highlights the importance of recognizing APOs...
