Abstract

The treatment landscape for patients with established or at high risk for cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes mellitus has entirely changed over the past decade, with the introduction of several anti-hyperglycemic agents. Sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors and glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) agonists are two anti-hyperglycemic classes which have been of special interest after multiple large cardiovascular disease (CVD) outcomes studies have demonstrated superiority of these agents compared to placebo for major adverse CVD events and in some cases, hospitalization for heart failure. Despite the dramatic results of these trials, only recently have we began to understand the mechanisms underlying these CVD benefits. Here we review the underlying mechanisms which have the greatest plausibility for both of these agents including the impact of ventricular loading conditions, direct effects on cardiac structure and function, myocardial energetics and sodium/hydrogen exchange for SGLT2 inhibitors, and the anti-atherosclerotic, anti-inflammatory, and modulation of endothelial function for GLP-1 agonists.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
