Abstract :
[en] Introduction
[en] Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) reduce the risk of cardiovascular (CV) complications in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2DM) and atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) in placebo-controlled CV outcome trials, yet the use of these cardioprotective agents remains rather low in clinical practice.
[en] Methods
[en] Analysis of the proportion of T2DM patients treated with GLP-1RAs in retrospective observational studies by comparing patients with versus without established ASCVD.
[en] Results
[en] Nine cohorts from seven studies were collected in the international literature between 2019 and 2022. Overall, the percentages of patients treated with GLP-1RAs were low (< 10 %) in most studies, yet a progressive increase was noticed over time. The use of GLP-1RAs in patients with ASCVD was slightly lower in 7 out of 9 cohorts not higher when compared to the use in patients without ASCVD (odds ratio 0.80, 95 % CI 0.79–0.81).
[en] Conclusion
[en] Despite a positive trend over the last decade, the real-world use of GLP-1RAs remains limited, especially in patients with established ASCVD. Bridging the gap between clinical evidence of cardioprotective effects of GLP-1RAs and their underuse in clinical practice in T2DM patients at high/very high CV risk should be considered as a key objective for health care providers, especially cardiologists.
