Effects of GLP-1 receptor agonists and SGLT-2 inhibitors on cardiac structure and function: a narrative review of clinical evidence

The impressive results of recent clinical trials with glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1Ra) and sodium glucose transporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT-2i) in terms of cardiovascular protection prompted a huge interest in these agents for heart failure (HF) prevention and treatment. While both classes show positive effects on composite cardiovascular endpoints (i.e. 3P MACE), their actions on the cardiac function and structure, as well as on...
