Cardiovascular Events Associated With SGLT-2 Inhibitors Versus Other Glucose-Lowering Drugs

Randomized trials demonstrated a lower risk of cardiovascular (CV) events with sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT-2i) in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) at high CV risk. Prior real-world data suggested similar SGLT-2i effects in T2D patients with a broader risk profile, but these studies focused on heart failure and death and were limited to the United States and Europe.The purpose of this study was to examine a broad range of...
