GLP-1 receptor agonists-SGLT-2 inhibitors combination therapy and cardiovascular events after acute myocardial infarction: an observational study in patients with type 2 diabetes.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Few studies explored the effect of the combination of glucose sodium-cotransporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT-2i) and glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RA) on the incidence of cardiovascular events in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) and acute myocardial infarction (AMI).

Methods

We recruited patients with T2D and AMI undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention, treated with either SGLT-2i or GLP-1RA for at least 3 months before hospitalization. Subjects with HbA1c < 7% at admission were considered in good glycemic control and maintained the same glucose-lowering regimen, while those with poor glycemic control (HbA1c ≥ 7%), at admission or during follow-up, were prescribed either a SGLT-2i or a GLP-1RA to obtain a SGLT-2i/GLP-1RA combination therapy.
