Journal ArticleDOI
SGLT2 inhibitors for primary and secondary prevention of cardiovascular and renal outcomes in type 2 diabetes: a systematic review and meta-analysis of cardiovascular outcome trials.
Thomas A Zelniker,Stephen D. Wiviott,Itamar Raz,KyungAh Im,Erica L. Goodrich,Marc P. Bonaca,Ofri Mosenzon,Eri Toda Kato,Avivit Cahn,Remo H.M. Furtado,Deepak L. Bhatt,Lawrence A. Leiter,Darren K. McGuire,John P.H. Wilding,Marc S. Sabatine +14 more
TL;DR: SGLT2i have moderate benefits on atherosclerotic major adverse cardiovascular events that seem confined to patients with established atheroscerotic cardiovascular disease, however, they have robust benefits on reducing hospitalisation for heart failure and progression of renal disease regardless of existing atherosclerosis or a history of heart failure.
Journal ArticleDOI
Association Between Lowering LDL-C and Cardiovascular Risk Reduction Among Different Therapeutic Interventions: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis
Michael G. Silverman,Brian A. Ference,KyungAh Im,Stephen D. Wiviott,Robert P. Giugliano,Scott M. Grundy,Eugene Braunwald,Marc S. Sabatine +7 more
TL;DR: The achieved absolute LDL-C level was significantly associated with the absolute rate of major coronary events, including coronary death or MI, for primary prevention trials and secondary prevention trials (1.5%-2.5% lower event rate); and for established nonstatin interventions that work primarily via upregulation of LDL receptor expression (ie, diet, bile acid sequestrants, ileal bypass, and ezetimibe).
Journal ArticleDOI
Comparison of the Effects of Glucagon-Like Peptide Receptor Agonists and Sodium-Glucose Cotransporter 2 Inhibitors for Prevention of Major Adverse Cardiovascular and Renal Outcomes in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus.
Thomas A Zelniker,Stephen D. Wiviott,Itamar Raz,KyungAh Im,Erica L. Goodrich,Remo H.M. Furtado,Marc P. Bonaca,Ofri Mosenzon,Eri Toda Kato,Avivit Cahn,Deepak L. Bhatt,Lawrence A. Leiter,Darren K. McGuire,John P.H. Wilding,Marc S. Sabatine +14 more
TL;DR: GLP1-RA and SGLT2i reduce atherosclerotic MACE to a similar degree in patients with established atherosclerosis cardiovascular disease, whereas SGLG2i has a more marked effect on preventing hospitalization for heart failure and progression of kidney disease.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of Saxagliptin on Renal Outcomes in the SAVOR-TIMI 53 Trial.
Ofri Mosenzon,Gil Leibowitz,Deepak L. Bhatt,Avivit Cahn,Boaz Hirshberg,Cheryl Wei,KyungAh Im,Aliza Rozenberg,Ilan Yanuv,Christina Stahre,Kausik K. Ray,Nayyar Iqbal,Eugene Braunwald,Benjamin M. Scirica,Itamar Raz +14 more
TL;DR: Treatment with saxagliptin improved ACR, even in the normoalbuminuric range, without affecting eGFR, and the beneficial effect of saxagLIptin on albuminuria could not be explained by its effect on glycemic control.
Journal ArticleDOI
Reduction in Total Cardiovascular Events With Ezetimibe/Simvastatin Post-Acute Coronary Syndrome: The IMPROVE-IT Trial
Sabina A. Murphy,Christopher P. Cannon,Michael A. Blazing,Robert P. Giugliano,Jennifer A. White,Yuliya Lokhnygina,Craig J. Reist,KyungAh Im,Erin A. Bohula,Daniel Isaza,Jose Lopez-Sendon,Mikael Dellborg,Uma Kher,Andrew M. Tershakovec,Eugene Braunwald +14 more
TL;DR: Reductions in total PEP events, driven by reductions in MI and stroke, more than doubled the number of events prevented compared with examining only the first event, and support continuation of intensive combination lipid-lowering therapy after an initial CV event.
