Abstract

6 voices in 10 minutes: Strategies to reduce cardiovascular risk in patients with diabetes mellitus

When do we choose SGLT2i or GLP1ag?

In recent years, there has been a paradigm shift in diabetes’ aims of treatment, going from glycocentricity to assessment of mortality reduction and cardiovascular risk (CVR).

Three different types of diabetes drugs have been subjected to tests for assessing CV results. Most of them were focused on high-risk CV populations and all drugs demonstrated NO risk increase by using them. Some drugs even showed significant benefits and also some unexpected benefits were found, such as renal protection.
