%X UNASSIGNED: From 2008 and following the withdrawal of rosiglitazone, obligatory cardiovascular outcomes trials are performed for glucose lowering drugs introduced to the market to ensure their cardiovascular (CV) safety. Paradoxically, these studies have demonstrated CV safety but also shown additional cardio-reno-vascular protection of some therapeutic agents. Additionally, nonsteroidal mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists (ns-MRA) have emerged as novel drugs for cardio - and renoprotection in type 2 diabetes (T2D) and chronic kidney disease (CKD). In addition to atherosclerotic CV disease, heart failure (HF) and CKD are important clinical problems in T2D leading to poor quality of life and premature death as such cardio-reno-vascular protection is an important clinical issue.
UNASSIGNED: We provide new insights into pharmacotherapeutic cardio-reno-vascular protection in T2D based on the new glucose lowering drugs and ns-MRA. PUB MED/CINAHL/Web of Science/Scopus were searched (May 2024).
UNASSIGNED: The conventional glucose lowering approach alone which was implemented for decades is now replaced by the use of disease modifying drugs which lower the rates of CV events, HF decompensation, hospitalization due to HF, slow progression of CKD and all-cause mortality. Indeed, the choice of medications in T2D should be focused on underlying co-morbidities with cardio-reno-vascular protection rather than a gluco-centric approach.
