Abstract
- Two clinical trials demonstrate the superiority versus a placebo of two antidiabetic drugs in patients with type 2 diabetes and high cardiovascular risk. Empagliflozin, an inhibitor of sodium-glucose type 2 (SGLT2) cotransporters, in EMPA-REG OUTCOME, and liraglutide, an agonist of glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptors, in LEADER, showed a significant reduction in major cardiovascular events (- 14 and - 13 %, respectively), cardiovascular mortality (- 38 and - 22 %, respectively) and all-cause mortality (- 32 and - 15 %, respectively). A lower progression of kidney disease and less renal events were also reported. The underlying protective mechanisms remain controverted as the discussion whether the benefits are specific to each medication or could be extended to other molecules of these two pharmacological classes.<br />Competing Interests: Le Pr A.
