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.

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

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

Effect of Saxagliptin on Renal Outcomes in the SAVOR-TIMI 53 Trial.

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.
